[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 432822, member: 831"] I believe (but please check with the Special Education. forum) that you can write a response to the suspension and have it put in his Cumulative folder. I just got a letter from Son's new psychiatrist so that we can begin the IEP process to implement a behavior response plan. Son is good academically, but his first year of high school has been a challenge behaviorally and socially because he's easily led and baited along with overreactions to perceived slights. At this point, current psychiatrist says Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified so I'm running with that. I know that Son has been called annoying by a few of his classmates. However, I have to give props to his high school, they have been very understanding of his quirks and social challenges and have assisted him to develop appropriate behaviors. But, I have decided he needs the protection of an IEP. He's had a few close calls that got him strict warnings. Last Thursday, he threatened a classmate, who kept challenging him to fight, that he had a knife and he "was going to go down". Son's side was that the kid kept challenging him during class and at first he ignored him. Finally, after the fifth time, Son had had enough. Son and his backpack were searched by security and the school police resource officer. Of course, they found nothing. Son is very thin and smaller than most of his classmates so he knows he can't go toe-to-toe with them physically. So, he threatens that he has a weapon to get them to leave him alone. It's the second time this year. Anyway, the other boy, was suspended for three days for attempting to incite a fight. Son said he was relieved to not have to deal with him for three days. Son also has challenges when there's a sub. The other kids will take advantage and he ends up getting in trouble because they pick on him and he reacts. If I were in your situation, I would let it go other than writing that letter for his file. Keep your pictures if they are needed. I have to say though, I don't think it's likely the new school is going to judge your Son too harshly. Get in contact with the Admin and the school counselor BEFORE enrolling him. Tour the school with the appropriate personnel. Let them know of your Son's challenges. Plus, other schools do see the mess that other schools make when dealing with a special needs student and their files. I wouldn't disparage to old school too much, if at all. Good luck and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
