[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 201771, member: 1697"] did you mean to post this here in the insurance forum, or did you mean to post in the Special Education forum? I had difficulty with similar issues here, and our docs got very sick of being asked for notes after they had explained time and again to the school. We did have an IEP and had something written into the IEP, that did help a little, but, even then it still was not great. For a short time our school nurse had this idea that we STILL should bring difficult child to school, and SHE would "decide" if difficult child was well enough to attend. I did NOT go with that and neither did our doctor. We also had a kind of opposite thing, doctor cleared son for school, but daily school sent him home post eye surgery and post recovery, even months later- school kept demanding us to get confirmation he did not have pink eye, altho they had all kinds of notes and records from eye surgeon and school KNEW my sons eye was pink-red due to scar tissue. It was in my so IEP and everything, but school wanted to mess with us. 3 or 4 times a week, they would grab my son and take him to office and call me to tell me I HAD to come get him NNOW to take him over to ER and bring back documentation that he did not have pink eye. Of course, then they would also use those absences to say "look he cannot keep up" but it was them sending him out of school. And then, here was the topper. easy child got to school and got stung by a bee there. She then began to not be able to breathe, (that never happened to her before) School called me to ask what to do, I said well, is she haveing trouble breathing? They said she says so.I said well gosh, CALL 9-1-1 duh. They said well we are not the school nurse, I said well so what? If she is haveing trouble breathing..... SO they called 91-1. easy child went to ER in ambulance from school. I met easy child at ER. and ER gave her a shot, and after a bit, easy child wanted to go back to school. ER said OK, and I dropped easy child and ER note back at school. A few mins after I dropped her off with her ER note, school called me to ask me if *I* would excuse PCs absence from the morning. Turns out, school said even tho easy child left in an ambulance from class...and even tho she had a note from ER.....*I* still had to approve the absence. If I didn't - then easy child was going to get in trouble and be suspended for truancy, for cutting those classes while she was at ER, Yeesh. easy child had perfect attendance to that point. [/QUOTE]
