[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 733236, member: 13303"] It would seem that wilderness is the best short term option. This will keep him busy over the summer months, which is great. And depending on how he does in the program, you can then determine whether he needs a therapeutic boarding school. You can also meet with his IEP team before the end of the year. I would suggest that you do so, actually, given that you and the principal are in touch regarding R's potential involvement in criminal activities at school, though unproven at this time. You can use this information to argue for a more restrictive placement before he gets into real trouble where he is now. A resource room is not anywhere near enough support for him. They gave him an IEP for an emotional disability so they know that this is an area of need. A self contained behavior disorders classroom within the same school building, or even a therapeutic day school, should be on the table if they suspect him of criminal activity in the building, which sounds like is the case based on your recounting of your conversations with the principal. And be careful; if push comes to shove don't expect the principal to be your friend or R's advocate. If he has a reputation as a problem child they may eventually get to a point where they want him out of the building by any means necessary, which can include violating his rights under IDEA. Keep us posted. You have more resources and support than many and I hope they serve you well. [/QUOTE]
