[QUOTE="marianna37, post: 159116, member: 5347"] My son is currently an eighth grade student. He is Bipolar I, ADHD, Conduct Disorder and Diabetic. He is in the process of being evaluated for special services as requested by myself. The district has till July 6th to finish evaluation. I believe, however, they are getting it done this week. Matthew was arrested at school last Wednesday for possession of marajuana and is being detained for two weeks in the juvenile detention center. We go to court on June 5th. Today the school called and wanted to set up a meeting to discuss our "options" for next school year. They said Matthew failed his TAKS tests. He is currently not even enrolled at the school because they made me withdraw him. The first 3 weeks of the new school year he has to attend the alternative school site according to the Assistant Principal. I just feel that they are wanting to retain him in 8th grade and that this is an improper decision on their part. Oh, also Matthew missed a huge amount of school due to his diabetes and BiPolar (BP) this year. They considered him truant and he was put in a truancy program with probation for 3 months. He did skip school on some days (probably about 5-7 days) but mostly out for health reasons. Is it appropriate for Matt to be retained? I don't feel this will benefit him and will only further diminish his motivation to attend school. Kind Regards, Marianna [/QUOTE]
