[QUOTE="Stella Johnson, post: 40865, member: 9"] ************UPDATE*************** Well, they gave me two options for difficult child for next year. The principal at her current school said he would love to have her back again next year. He said they will follow her current program by using the Resource class and the Behavioral class that is staying there. or She can go to the new school with her current Functional Academics teacher. The catch to that is that currently all of FA is together from K-5th grade. Next year it will be split. Her current teacher will have K-2nd grade and a new teacher will have 3-5th. So, difficult child wouldn't keep the same teacher. Most of difficult child's friends are mainstream kids with the exception of the twins that are in her FA class currently. At her current school she is in Student Council and Safety Patrol. She helps kids get in and out of the car at the begining and end of school and holds the door open. difficult child is very popular this year and for the first time has lots of friends. Socially she has come so far this year. Her reading is getting much better too thanks to the FA teacher she has. I'm torn. I think the FA room that is moving is better for her academically but her current school has been so accepting of her. I'm not finished fighting over the constant classroom jumbling and moving. I am going to the school board meeting on the 21st. I had a meeting with the assistant superintendant and the Director of Special Education yesterday. Their reasoning for all the moves were that the schools are filling up and losing space and the school board thinks these classes are mobile basicly. [img]:nonono:[/img] I still hate it. I told them that all the Special Education programs need their own permanent homes. All the schools here are new and still building. If they are still building, they need dedicated wings of the school for Special Education that are ONLY for them. Period. If the reg ed kids need more room, add on to the school but stop taking from Special Education. We live in a very fast growing area of Dallas. It has quadrupled since we moved here when difficult child was 3. I know there are growing pains but there has to be a better way. Just seems no one has made them figure out a solution.
