[QUOTE="klmno, post: 380846, member: 3699"] Shari, my heart goes out to Wee. I agree that the sd has not done what they should but I wouldn't be able to handle this level of "incident" every time I turn around and although you might be right to fight it, I can't see that it's getting Wee an education. I also agree that at this point, I wouldn't want my son going to school there. I think I would cringe. Maaybe requesting an IEP meeting with the director of Special Education in attendance to review placement is a good idea. If they say they don't have a school to seend him to, I'd say that is their problem. As far as the police involvement- this all varies from state to state but most have some sort of "team" of reps from the various agencies (MH, sd, courts, etc)- that team determines services to give to families with extreme circumstances, at-risk youth, etc, and approves government funding to be spent on said services. It is called different names in different places but appears to be similar no matter what the name. Anyway, the sd usually has direct access to have a meeting for a student that might need a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and funding for it, as example. But I'm wondering if the sd is getting something documented with juvenile courts in order to have more weight with this team- it actually could work against you or for you. Not that Wee should go to a Residential Treatment Center (RTC), but if they ever mention needing to go to an "ABCD team" to get funding approved, you make sure you go to that meeting too, if possible, so you can advocate for the services you feel Wee needs. Here, the sd can go to that team without the parent but the parent is allowed to attend in some circumstances. The parent can also request a meeting with "the team" but has to have a referral from one of the agencies in order to get it- if it is under these circumstances the parent has to be invited to attend. And they can apply pressure on the sd to do what they should and probably will because they want the sd to have services provided out of sd funding instead of going to county/city/state funding when possible. I know a person who had a difficult child and when she was in early elementary school years the parent started having to deal with things like this at her school and when he started pushing for adequate accommodations which the sd was not prepared to give, the sd had a meeting with "the team" and the parent didn't know it. The parent said the next thing he knew, there was a knock on his door one evening and that whole team was there at his house prepared to do some sort of intervention and pressure him to allow intensive wrap-around services for his daughter so the sd could work with her better. He happened to have a profession that gave him enough knowledge about the system to realize what was going on and held his ground that they did not need that- it wasn't a family problem causing this- and ultimately, he convinced the team that his daughter did have a diagnosis and needed more services at school. But it was chaos for a while. It appears this might be what the sd is trying to make happen with your family- but of course, I can't be sure of that. [/QUOTE]
