[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 143124, member: 1697"] when I went to due process this all hit home extra hard. ABSOLUTELY always compare YOUR copies of anything to anyone elses. In due process our district excluded several things, made sure to blur several others and added many others. ALWAYS also save ENVELOPES things come in, stapled to what came inside the envelope. ALWAYS do everything IN WRITING and via certified mail. Always keep a copy----- Remember when you request documents from school, some schools may try to tell you you have EVERYTHING, but...very often you do NOT have "everything" in some districts you must go in person to EACH and EVERY division, dept, office etc and demand copies from THEIR records, even the administration bldg etc. Not everything is kept in one place. and my experience has found even with a court order, you can end up going to multiple buildings multiple times, even if your child has been in same school, same building for their whole school life (like mine) I also make sure to NOT sign release of information forms for AYONE- I HAND deliver copies of everything for anyone-----and I preview it first. Yes, even between doctors or doctor to school etc. This does not apply only to school issues, believe it or not, tdocs, psychiatrists etc also can have some things in records etc that might shock you, appall you, upset you, or even might be someone elses charting in your chart! When Buffy was inmpatient, and when husband was inmpatient, more than once, in spite of them haveing their little hospital bracelet on their wrist, nurses came with medications while I was there.....and handed them medications to take. I looked at medications and saw unfamiliar medications, and questioned it to find way more than once, at more than one hospital, the nurses were giving someone elses medications to MY loved one, never CHECKING the wristband or asking my loved one their name....- mistyaken identity. In case of my husband, twice it was a medication he is allergic to with an anaphylactic reaction. I picked up my own medical records once to take with me to a new rheumy and found several pages of medications I had NEVER taken, NEVER been ordered- turns out someone elses charting had been done in my chart! When I was purseing a legal case against our local mental health facility, I got reams and volumes of charting of bold faced lies and twisted recounts of incidents etc...... when I got my copies of our transcripts for our due process? Very clearly forged, altered, not the testimony AT ALL.....and very poorly altered, I might add. You cannot trust anyone, I swear, not for anything. My name signed (not even close to my signature) on SO many documents.....and things I had given the school- missing...to the point I began to require reciept documentation of anything I did give to school, so they could not later say I did NOT give them something. It IS a FULL time job, it really really is. And if you have a less than honest district, they WILL alter and change whatever they can, in whatever way they can to be able to do things THEIR way. AND they often do it with a friendly smile on their face. Please notice, I DO understand not ALL districts do these things, please know I know sometimes innocent mistakes DO occur...... but, do also be aware to keep on top of things. [/QUOTE]
