Guest guest Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 What is reported below from Henry's page is an indication of intimidation and pure bullying of a magnitude I can't even imagine. 18 District staff in an IEP meeting! On the Bright side, I don't think Broward County has ever done this to a student. Steve http://www.change.org/henry " Henry was subjected to brazen intimidation at a recent IEP meeting in which the HCSD had 18 representatives (9 more than was stated on the Prior Written Notice), including the head of the Exceptional Student Services of HCSD, the Area 1 Supervisor of HCSD, and the principal of the school. During the IEP meeting, which was the very first time he had entered the school that he can see from his bedroom window†" the school that his neighbors attend, Middle School†" not one person gave him more than a cursory “hi†and “goodbye.†Not one person from or HCDS said, “Hey Henry, I hope this can work out. You seem like a great kid; any school would be lucky to have youâ€. Not one. HCSD has demanded that Henry demonstrate that he can manage the stairs and transition between classrooms in the same school that they have denied him access in the first place. They have demanded that he take tests before he is granted access to the school that no other child needs to take. They have said that he can join his peers in their classroom if he can “prove†that he should be there. No child’s access to a public education should be based on a test. No child should be required to prove their intelligence and competence every single day, but this is a reality for most non-speaking individuals, and it certainly is for Henry.
