[QUOTE="slsh, post: 410635, member: 8"] I have to wonder if her absences are the root cause of the calls to CPS. Playing the devil's advocate here, they've got a student that has not been in class in how many months? No IEP? Communication from Mom but apparently not enough communication from the professionals involved re: her fitness to attend school? That's a glaring anomaly on their books and if they don't cover their posteriors, there could be ramifications from the state level. States don't handle absences/"truancy" consistently. I know when we lived in CA and were dealing with- thank you's ridiculous morning behaviors, I got a letter advising court involvement for "truancy" - and it wasn't that he was missing school, he was just constantly late because of the battle to get him dressed. At that point, I started dropping him off in (more accurately, dragging him into) the principal's office in his PJs, and let *her* deal with it. Miraculously, I never got another warning letter. Due to her absences and hospitalizations, and you communicating the reason for them, the district has been aware for months that they have a child with a disability on their hands. They have an obligation to identify children with- disabilities and request parental consent to being evaluation - the SD, in my humble opinion, has majorly dropped the ball. The IEP evaluation should have been initiated (by them or you - I think majority of responsibility in this situation should fall on SD given their obligation to identify children with- disabilities) when she first started missing school. Making reports to CPS does not relieve SD of their responsibilities. But... what's done is done. I'd get that certified letter requesting evaluation of a child that they have been *aware* of having a disability for months sent today, and I'd cc: CPS. I'd also be very careful about what information you're allowing the SD to request from hospital. They have absolutely *no* right to her medical records, unless you want them to have them. A letter verifying dates of treatment should suffice. SD is not providing medical tx, nor are they offering (at this time) to provide any counseling svcs via IEP. Since IEP evaluation has not been requested, and it sounds like they're not initiating evaluation, they have no need to see anything relating to the medical details of her tx. Jena - it goes without saying that your plate is long past overflowing. I'd really strongly recommend you get an advocate in to direct this battle. The SD dropped the ball, and it seems they're in serious CYA mode at this point, trying to place blame on you. [/QUOTE]
