[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 306773, member: 1233"] This is outrageous. They are not apologizing because that might look like an admission of guilt in court. I would get an attorney and get a class action lawsuit. For this I would fight like heck. Make it part of the terms that the student can be sent to any school you choose, public or private, anywhere, at the school board's expense. With NO pressure on you to choose a certain school or school. It should be awarded to all siblings because they WILL be teased/excluded for having a sibling with special needs. There is no need for teachers to have a master list of all students with special needs. If they don't have that student they don't need that info. Gym teachers, music, library etc people DO MAYBE need that list, but it should be at the discretion of the IEP team, esp if the child has had no problems in that class before. If a child has problems in that class then the teacher of 'specials' needs the IEP, of course. I really think a teacher who doesn't like IEP's or thinks students with special needs should not have help or be in regular classes gave a like minded parent the list. Call me paranoid, but the lack of cooperation sure gives me that impression. It could be a kid who is mad that a special needs student gets something different than they do, one who sees this as being unfair to him personally or one who is afraid of the mythical "short bus cooties" as some students in one of Wiz' fifth grade classes called it (yet another reason he refused to mainstream that year.) (Here the 'short bus' is a smaller school bus that children with special needs are transported in.) I really suspect they know a LOT more than they are telling, or at least a few teachers/staff know more. Get a lawyer. Find out some educational choices, esp schools that have lots of services for your difficult child and his needs. Then PUSH them to pay for this for the rest of his academic career. get in writing their agreement to pay for this in exchange for you not pursuing legal action or helping those who do pursue legal action. If it costs you in terms of having to take your son to a therapist, or paying for other things to help make it easier for him to go to school, then keep records and have your atty ask for reimbursement. Get a good lawyer. ASAP. difficult child is right to be hurt and furious. I am so sorry. [/QUOTE]
