[QUOTE="starcloaked, post: 75498, member: 3632"] Thanks to all three of you for the great advice and even greater support. MWAH! (that's me blowing a kiss...) I'm a lot calmer today, and I'm back in advocacy mode, partly thanks to you. I read these posts to my spouse on the phone at work today, and it helped both of us to remember that we're not completely alone. There's definitely a question about whether to agree to keep him out or to make them take him back. We're keeping him out until Friday's meeting, which we expect will be a manifestation determination meeting, however completely screwed up that might be given the situation. I've hired an educational advocate who has already given me good advice on the phone and who is going to try to be there on Friday, and I had a great talk with a lawyer (who kept, rather satisfyingly, yelling "That's BULL$#!%!" whenever I would tell him a new wrinkle in my tale). The lawyer knows the school system well and is in other litigation with this school, so was able to give me some perspective on their tactics. It may get worse before it gets better, but it's good to have someone on our side who isn't scared of the BSEA process and who seems to get a kick out of making sure schools take care of kids the way they're supposed to. It's all going to add up to some cash, but we've never asked the grandparents for money, and now may be the time. And even though he talked to me for 45 minutes, gave me his cell phone, told me to call Saturday to report on Friday's meeting, he isn't charging us yet, which is awfully nice. So that's the news from here. Thanks again for your advice and support. Things may get worse before they get better, but I'll keep you posted. Star [/QUOTE]
