[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 378989, member: 805"] Terry, I know what you've been through with difficult child and school the last several years. I know you were hoping that this was the place. It appears, however, that it is not. I think you kinda saw the writing on the wall last year but they convinced you otherwise. That was clearly evidenced by your desire to change schools last year. While we can discuss the ludicrousness of a 2-day expulsion contract, their speed in pulling out the terms of the contract, their seemed desire to get difficult child out of there, etc., none of that is productive for difficult child. I believe you are doing the right thing by keeping him in all week. I never felt this school was equipped to deal with difficult child - but that was, and is, my opinion. Now you just need to enroll him in his local school and start over (which I imagine you did earlier today). His IEP will roll with him, but a meeting this week with the Special Education director of his new school is in big time order. That IEP will have to be tweaked. This should be a called emergency IEP meeting. Get all that handled before end of the day Friday, if possible. If you can put everything else on the back burner for now, it would be helpful. Once he's in, you can address the other stuff. I truly believe that difficult child will understand. I know he transitions difficultly, but sitting down with him this weekend and letting him know that his "old" school just can't deal with some of the issues he deals with, that he will have a better chance for success at pubic school (and that could very well be true in that the demands on him could lessen academically), and you know he will feel happier with this change, as difficult as it may seem right now. I imagine they are holding you to the annual tuition though....... Hugs, Sharon [/QUOTE]
