[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 365992, member: 1233"] Time to climb the ladder. First start sending emails of summaries of every conversation you have with anyone at the school. Just a polite, even friendly reminder of the discussion where you outline what was said and agreed to (or not agreed to). If they call because something in the email is not correct, send another email with the corrections. Not to get in their faces, but to establish a paper trail. Then start calling that person's boss. If it is the principal, go to the bored of Education and talk to the superintendent or the superintendent's secretary. In MOST school districts the superintendent's secretary is the person with the MOST power. She runs the superintendent's life. Make a friend of this person. Take her cookies or whatever as a thank you. Once you have contact make sure to send her a Christmas care (or if she is not Christian send a Happy Holidays card). Cultivate her. Your problems will then be a priority for the superintendent because the LAST thing most superintendents can handle is for their secretaries to be upset!! Their is NO enforcement to make teachers/schools follow 504 plans. IEPs have legal consequences if they are not followed. There is almost no way to bring consequences if the 504 is not followed. If at all possible try to get him onto an IEP. MANY of us have had these problems with 504s. No matter what they tell you about a 504, you will not have great luck trying to enforce one. If at all possible, carry a tape recorder in a pocket when you speak to anyone at the school. Make sure it is legal to record conversations in your state. Many states say that as long as one party is aware of the recording then it is legal to record. [/QUOTE]
