[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 379018, member: 1233"] Terry, does this school get ANY federal funding? It is very very uncommon for any school to receive no federal funding, even Catholic or other religious schools unless they are very very small and are not accredited. If they receive ANY federal funding they are subject to the various laws about how students with disabilities are handled. This means that if they are holding difficult child to fewer absences than other students they are violating those laws and could lose ALL federal funding. NOT just funding for programs that your son would be eligible for - ALL funding. You may want to use this to be a carrot to entice them to return ALL of your tuition for this year. Chances are they are going to claim tuition paid so far is not refundable per the contract or because it has been spent for his benefit or some other nonsense. I think they just wanted to claim him as a student to meet certain quotas - and now that he has been counted they don't want him anymore. They are likely to want to keep your $$ though. If worse comes to worse and they keep refusing to reimburse tuition, ask them what a newspaper article about holding a disabled child to a stricter absence policy will do to their enrollment for next term? Esp when the article reveals how they practically begged you to keep him there until they had the tuition %%, then they expelled him and refused to refund said tuition because the disabled child missed more than TWO days and had a doctor's note for those days? Even if it has to be a letter to the editor or you pay for a small ad and state what happened, they are NOT NOT NOT going to want ANYONE to hear about this. ESPECIALLY other parents with children with Asperger's - which they specifically claim to accommodate and in reality do NOT accommodate (your difficult child is actually far better in school than many aspies I have known, based upon what you have posted about him and his actions at school. Just be sure that you state the truth in any letter to the editor or ad you take out. Not sure an ad would be worth the effort, but a letter to the editor would be. [/QUOTE]
