Well, now... aren't they just ever so helpful.
Bet that stat isn't going to stay up on the district website for too long.
Seriously? That in and of itself is evidence that the school is failing blatantly to provide FAPE in LRE, in my humble opinion. Was any of that missed time due to illness? Or was it all due to half-days, early pickups, suspensions, and absent staff?
How on earth do they expect any child to learn when he's not allowed in the building almost a third of the school year?
Sorry, I know I'm preaching to the choir.
It just makes my blood boil, especially because he's so young.
Have you had any luck finding an advocate?
Also, have you checked out your state's dept of ed website? I seem to recall you're in a state bordering mine - if I was right on the state, their website is actually quite decent and you might be able to find some resources on there to help.
Hang in there!!! You know we're rooting for you!
