Re: School still saying it wasn't suspension

[Guest guest]

Thanks Kathy, I'm not sure, but I'll check into it. This is what the principle actually e-mailed us...

"Thank you for your patience as I have taken some time to respond to you in order to verify that I was giving you accurate information. I know I initially indicated in the voicemail on 12/9/10 that would be suspended if he could not comply during the isolation period in which he was working to earn his way back into the BSP classroom. However, he completed a significant portion of the day. I checked with our district's student services department along with our district's special education department who also double-checked with the state department of education. They confirmed that as was in attendance for more than enough time according to state attendance law, he would not be counted for suspension. If we had assigned suspension for behavior that day, the suspension would have occurred on the following Monday."It is astonishing that they can get away with this. I was even threatened that they would call juvenile

authorities if I didn't come pick him up that day. All because he was just refusing to do his work. I can even put into words how angry I am about this. ne

This is a continuation from a previous post....

Just wanted to ask if anyone has any suggestions on how we could/should procede on this one. The school is still saying my son was not considered "suspended" when they called us to pick him up. The principle claims to have checked with the district's special ed dept and the state DOE to confirm. This makes no sense to me at all. How can they get away with this?

This is so frustrating!! I could scream!
