[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 85273, member: 805"] [img]:grrr:[/img] I would not be happy either with that request [img]:grrr:[/img] That is just too darn bad that the asst principal doesn't have "time to deal with her when she is upset or argumentative." If she is the disciplinarian at your daughter's school, then that's her job. That burns me up! Let's look at solutions here. What do you feel the issue is with being late for class?

Putting your daughter in an alternative school is considered a change of placement and you would have to agree (after an IEP team meeting). A change of placement is not the typical reasoning for a kid that is late for class.
