[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 407758, member: 1991"] Jena, we also walked away from a toxic school. BUT - I needed to have a good understanding of why it was toxic, and to also make sure that the same problems were not waiting for us at the new school. We found a new set of problems, some of which showed us that for us, NO mainstream school was going to work. School 1 did not try as they should have. They did a lot of harm in the process. School 2 were a better fit, but had other problems we hadn't counted on. We really had to do our homework and 'interview' the new school. It was not too far away, we did not have to move house. But I had to talk to them, talk through the problems we'd had and ask them how they would handle Scenario X. While you're waiting for the CPS stuff to be resolved, start planning. Work out some interview questions you could ask as you audition a replacement school. Also make sure that a new school will be willing to take her - if you send her where she is not wanted, you're behind the 8-ball from the start. You can be asking your questions, making your notes, putting plans in place, all while you wait for things to settle. Then when the time is right, you will be sure of which way to jump. Marg [/QUOTE]
