[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 362135, member: 455"] I'm glad you took susie's advice. I also wanted to mention that schools not only dig up things (whether they are there or not) they will and can tend to "fabricate" things if things get really tough on them to provide services. My oldest is 18 now but many years ago I had the unfortunate experience with a school district pushed to do their job after filing state complaints and various other things. I will not disclose on here exactly what happened but I can assure you, there was NO dirt to be found on ME and what 1 person at the school did ruined a whole family, left me with PTSD (now have it twicefold from abuse) because this person "thought" they could get me to stop advocating and getting the help my child needed and deserved! Side note, the person who did this was quickly cast aside by school district and is no longer practicing within their district nor any in the state and has moved on to an undisclosed location. I had found out about 3 years after my case that he destroyed many other families this way as well. Maintaining your "paper trail" (emails, writing down phonecall conversations,etc..) helps you in the end document your case when and if you need to have it and you may ever. I would also, since it hasn't been suggested, send a letter to the higher ups of the school district like the superintendent of what transpired as well. Perhaps they are not aware of how that particular school personel is acting or failing to act. That might help because it looks as though they had an obligation to provide the work for him or at least direct him to it when he was out and since you directly asked for it, they should have. As for being told "not to contact teachers", I've never heard of such a thing. That is the most direct approach there is and there is no other. Any and everywhere you hear about parents NOT being involved with their children's education and here you are trying to do that very thing yet they "don't" want you to contact them? How is this helping the student? Nope, wrong wrong, wrong!!! Since you don't have an IEP in place as of yet (or even a 504) it sounds like, I'm not so sure a law suit would work. Definitely follow up with superintendent with a letter detailing step by step, just as you did here, what has transpired and what you have done for your son. Including what happened in PE as they will definitely want to know that too. Sounds like you are doing an incredible job and have found the right place for support and help to keep you going in the right direction! Welcome! :) [/QUOTE]
