Thanks, Susie! The principal should be in her meeting with sd higher ups as we speak. Then I go to the iep triennial evaluation at the school in a little while. I hope I can find out what the sd is going to do or not do before I leave there today.
I stayed up most the night researching the law- I couldn't sleep again. I found a law that says a court can order a juvenile into directly Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and parent is to sign an agreement with county funding agency (about partial payment, I'm sure), but that this can only be done if all less restrictive means have been tried. Well, if I've tried all less restrictive means that I can access, would this justify me asking the court to do this? IOW, if the sd won't recommend any county assistance and the PO won't do anything, then what other methods are available to me? Even if the court orders it and that gets me to the ccounty team and we work out something less restrictive that the judge approves, at least it gets me there.
