[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 341359, member: 8831"] [I]and if it true it explains why the neighboring district isn't taking any more of your district's students because they're probably getting too many moving in after failing there[/I] (more likely its a small program, and they are full to the gills with their own population, but still) shari--i would start with this neighboring district. i would call them personally, and ask what placements they would have for a tuition based student, if any. call the principles office to start. because i'm getting the impression YOUR cst told YOU that this district isnt accepting out of district placements. it may or may not be true because its an expensive proposition. my guess is that if that district have slot #8 open, and someone want to pay to get in it, then the district wouldnt care if they came from the moon. ([I]sometimes [/I]they hold the last slot in the class just in case, but more often than not they would rather fill it for the $$) and your district would be responsible for the cost of tuition as an appropriate, out-of-district placement, AND provide transportation. i know that feeling of "you cant know what you dont know"....it just doesnt soon plausible that there are no other options in a district of 800ish kids. but i'm also going to say this...no program will ever be "perfect". otherwise it would be called "wee's class", Know what I mean?? its very difficult, if not impossible, to get every single iota of needs met--prioritizing is going to be important in evaluating a program. and there will inevitably be personality conflicts/teachers who won't "get" it/and other hassles....[B]no where[/B] is perfect. and every school year is different, and needs to be reevaluated accordingly. placement that works this year, might not meet his needs the next, and so on. i would also be investigating every single public and private setting within an hour radius from your home. because they *are* there, even if you live in timbuktu...and there has to somewhere thats a better fit than what is happening now.
