[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 77933, member: 3704"] I think that there is absolutely no question that school districts sometimes try to move students they view as problematic or expensive out of their area, by hook or by crook. A few years ago I came in a little early for a school board meeting . As I was sitting in a chair , the then superintendent caught me eye. He laughed a little and said "Boy did I have quite the day today". I said "Oh, really?". He said "I met with the family of a disabled child who just moved into our district. This child is going to cost us so much money that it would be cheaper to buy the family a house in another school district, and I have thought about making that offer to them". I had to pinch myself to make sure that I was awake! I was utterly appalled by this statement. Firstly, by the fact that he would even think about that strategy; and secondly, that he would tell me - a total stranger - totally private information about someone else. This was before difficult child's accident and his diagnosis. Now, I am not suprised at all. [/QUOTE]
