[QUOTE="Martie, post: 85222, member: 284"] Lynn, Immediately write a let to the SD notifying them that your child most likely has a disability that impacts his ability to CONFORM TO SCHOOL RULES and make progress in the GENERAL EDUCATION Classroom. Even if the "nation" of CA, Federal law is still in force. This will protect your child's rights while the wheels grind. The SD can then suspend for a maximum of 10 days and can NEVER expel--as in unload responsibility for your child. This protection for the cost of a certified letter is unbeatable. You are the best and first advocate for your child. You need to become self-educated about your rights. In complicated cases, it can be very helpful to have an on-site advocate, but you can do all the initial work just by being well informed. Even sending the above letter will let the SD know that you have read the law--or are in contact with someone who has. There are "getting started" threads in the archives of this section of the board. Delete the references to the Parent Report." If you want to write up information, relabel in Parent Input, which by law, the SD must consider.

In addition, they sell products that are written especially for parents and advocates which in my opinion are a very good investment in advocating for your child. I hope this helps you get started.
