Well, I went to school with difficult child. He stayed outside to visit with the kids for ten minutes. I went in.
The new vice principal took me back to his office. I had all my papers, IEP, all my notes.
He pulls out this referral that the teacher wrote. Stating that difficult child went on a pass to go to get his assignment from his locker and was gone for ten minutes. He came back into the classroom wearing sunglasses and another student chasing him and said that he stole her sunglasses. She rang the buzzer for an escort and he ran away from the escort who had to finally catch up with him and placed him in ISS.
OK...from experience last year I found out that difficult child was not given the opportunity to write his statement on the referral form. (there is a place for student statement). I also was not notified when he was placed in ISS or removed from class and placed in the office. So, his IEP has it stated that "mother needs to be notified, phone call or message, of each class removal and the time documented" Also states that difficult child write his statement on any referral or Let's talk form.
So, I tell the VP that difficult child didn't get the opportunity to write his statement on the referral. He says, he was given a blank sheet of paper to write it on while in ISS. I asked him where it is logged his time out of class. He said it is not. And he only was out for half a period. I corrected him and told him it was two classes. I asked him to speak to the girl who came running into the room because difficult child did not steal the glasses, she lent it to him 3 periods prior. He said NO. I then pull out the IEP and am reading off the steps that are to be taken prior to difficult child ending up in the office of ISS. I informed him that not a single teacher was aware of his IEP. He denied that. I told him to invite the principal in because she was in the last weeks meeting when the teachers admitted that.
I told him that difficult child did not have a chance to see what the teacher wrote so how can he respond. He raised his voice and said, WHY did it take him ten minutes? WHY was he wearing the sunglasses? WHY did he steal them? I told him he did not steal them. I told him he needs to be asking difficult child these questions, he is in the outer office invite him in.
He then told me there is no reason to document any time removed from class. I then pull out the IEP and he said there is no need for this. I told him about being removed for ten cumulative days is an issue with special education. He said, No, I do not know what I am talking about. That would be TEN OUT of school suspensions. I then pull out my folder and told him I have a copy of the special education laws incase he is not familiar with them.
He then calls difficult child in. Folds his arms, leans forward on the desk (in his face) and says WHY didn't you go to class prepared? WHY didn't you have your assignment? difficult child said he DID have his assignment he was getting a notebook. He then asks WHY (loudly all of this)WHY did it take you ten minutes? difficult child said it didn't. VP says she signed you out at this time and in at this time. difficult child said no she didn't she didn't give me a pass, she just told me to go. VP goes on, WHY were you wearing the sunglasses? difficult child says, "dude, I wasn't wearing them I had them in my hand" VP:" MY NAME IS NOT DUDE". Then he goes on saying he stole them. difficult child denies it. He sends difficult child to class. I told VP that I want the referral changed and the false information taken off. VP was very loudly speaking to difficult child and to myself all this while denying anything we would ask. He said he will not believe a student. difficult child said something like that when he was in the room, it is only because it is him...Anyway I told him I wanted it changed and I would not leave until the false information was removed. He then threatened to call the police and have me removed. I told him to go ahead.
Two and a half hours later he comes back with a re-written referral. Still had wrong information on it, but teacher took out most. I told him I wanted difficult child called down so he can put his information on this form. difficult child writes his version on that form. VP says, "oh, by the way we spoke to the girl and she said she opened her locker and you stole her glasses". difficult child said NO I DIDN"T. I asked to have both kids in the same room. VP denied. So, I told difficult child to ask her why she would say that. VP said, "I DO NOT want you speaking to her". difficult child did, and she said, "I swear to god I told them I gave them to you".
I'll continue later. School is out now.
