[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 394280, member: 7083"] In order to drop out, she has to have parental consent, school consent, a job, and be enrolled in GED (adult ed) classes. Still, the law states that they can't take the GED until they are 19, unless they are 18 and the school signs a GED Waiver Form; they are 18 and their class graduation date has passed; or they are between the ages of 16-18 and the superintendent signs a GED Waiver Form. Apparently, our SD isn't known to do that. However, since this placement has been a disaster since day one and they insisted she stay, then threaten to pull her out and put her back in regular school where she will be so far behind she can't possibly catch up, thus setting her up to fail, I think gives me some ammunition. It doesn't make any sense to have to take GED classes (like 6 months) and then wait almost 2 years until she can take the test. [/QUOTE]
