What's the best approach for this...and is this really a viable argument?

[QUOTE="Shari, post: 468086, member: 1848"] It could be fought, but it would be a very expensive battle, because we can't use the smoking gun (the initially shortened day). We would have to prove that he could have maintained in school for full days for this entire time with appropriate support that the school refused to give. And while I know he could, and you know he could, and Sue knows he could, and Insane knows he could, and....we would likely be proving this to people who DON'T deal with difficult child's. Laymen, as they say. And we all know what our kids look like to the layman's eye... I have a close contact at DOE. Unfortunately, today is the dumbest holiday in the history of holidays and DOE is closed, otherwise, I'd have that contact give the sped dir a call and remind her that this case is on their radar and Wee actually qualified for the extension a week ago... In the meantime, I have sent a simple email to the sped dir just stating that since this is the day it was to have started, I trust there will be a plan in place directly or we will be meeting directly to discuss options. If that doesn't garner a response, I'll call their attorney again and tell him. That generally gets a fire under their tails. Perhaps I should remind them that the maintenance man can handle Wee quite well, and I'm sure he has 15 minutes to come spend some time with Wee... [/QUOTE]
