[QUOTE="klmno, post: 354988, member: 3699"] Thanks, Sharon and all. Things are up in the air on the homefront- I'll update that part more within a few days. I think you are exactly right about them trying to hurry and throw something together to meet a deadline- the CM at school said she'd been out since the middle of last week and the week before that, they were out for spring break. As far as the advanced diploma- they all knew it- it was in difficult child's file from the Department of Juvenile Justice sd and it was brought up and noted by this current principal at the hearing we had to go to for difficult child to be accepted back into this sd and placement determined and the principal said he qualified. (He might not actually get thru it but if he wants it and it motivates him and he qualifies, he should have the opportunity just like anyone else.) . Also, the CM had another meeting with difficult child and me and some person who would be at the new high school currently under construction that he should attend next year, unless he chooses to stay in JROTC. So bascily, this CM dropped the ball and tried to throw something together and since difficult child is currently in trouble, she thought she could keep it all focused on a behavior problem. However, I don't think that can fly with me- especially with the documentation that there are other things going on with him and NO teachers have complained about his behavior in class and him having squat for a transition plan.
