[QUOTE="nvts, post: 124482, member: 3814"] Hi! It's actually a Federal violation. When difficult child 3 was suspended by the principal and vice principal, they notified me by screaming it down the main corridor in front of parents, faculty and students. It's something called "FERPA" Federal Education Right to Privacy Act. Although the school district has the right to reconvene the IEP team to discuss need/adjustment to the IEP, I don't believe that they should be in contact with the psychiatric hospital. (There's your HIPPA violation) itself. It could be standard practice at the psychiatric hospital to bill the district itself first and then if they don't come through bill the parents. You can find that out by playing nice with the billing department at the hospital. We're still trying to find an attorney that will help us expose this type of violation in the schools. Sadly, everyone assumes you're out to get big bucks, rather than correct a wrong in a school. Good luck "D-Cubed"! Beth [/QUOTE]
