[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 33787, member: 2322"] Hi Smallworld! This is a tough one. I wasn't entirely sure from your post whether the major issue is that the private school will be dismayed to find out that she has a 504 that you haven't told them about, or that the public school team will be unwilling to draw one up if they think she is leaving First, what kinds of 504 accommodations are you looking for? Do you think that the private school will be reluctant to provide them whether or not they are written into the 504? Second, given that it is only a 504 plan that you are thinking of, what's the downside if the public school refuses it? Were she to reenroll in public school, you could bring up the whole issue again in any event. This seems to be the lesser issue, in that if she is eligible for it now, she would be eligible for it if she returns to public school, assuming nothing changes. Third, why should the public school be reluctant to put it in place? Is it going to cost them anything? In thinking about it, I guess the real issue is what kind of relationship you have and want to have with the new school, whether they would deny her admission if they knew she had a 504. If they want to play that game, then maybe you need to play your game too. Don't know if this helps or not. How are the rest of your kids doing? Chris [/QUOTE]
