[QUOTE="Mickey2255, post: 118054, member: 3720"] While I do thank you all very much for your input and help, it appears it's for naught. I found out today they are planning to expel him. I'm supposed to get the letter from the school's attorney by Monday at the latest. I'm just appalled and amazed that they can expel a 10 year old with documented ADHD/ODD, an IEP, and a BIP. The manifestation meeting is scheduled for next week - depending on the availability of the advocate to go with me. No way am I going to that one alone! Another advocate recommended telling them we won't go to due process if they expunge the expulsion from his record so we won't have so much trouble getting him into another school next year (we are planning on home schooling for the remainder of this year since they are going to be providing homebound services and we need to work on the damage they have now done to his psyche. I'm trying very hard to look at this as a blessing in disguise but it's not easy. We also have a 10 year old easy child daughter in the school (charter school). We have two trains of thought. Pull her out because we can't trust them to educate her any more than we could trust them with difficult child. OR leave her there so I can walk in that school with my head held high and give them evil looks and wreck havoc and destruction behind the scenes by telling every single parent what they have done to my son. We are leaning towards option 1 because #2 might just be too much work and I don't have that kind of evil in my heart. Though I HAVE offered to be interviewed for a newspaper article and won't hold back at ALL. As always, any and all advice is appreciated! I'm swimming blind with this home school stuff. Oddly enough, I do have a degree in Elem Ed but never actually taught after graduation which was a very, very long time ago! As of right now, hubby will do the majority of the teaching just because he's self-employed and can swing it much easier than I could. Thanks in advance. It's been a rough couple of days...
