Re: URGENT ... DISTRICT FILING FOR HONIG INJUNCTION ?

[Guest guest]

Generally, these are only invoked when the student poses a danger to

himself or others.

If the school is instituting litigation against you, you need an attorney.

There are pro bono/public advocacy clinics in many towns--some law

schools also have clinics that will take certain types of cases and often offer

sliding fee scales.

Also, check with copaa.org--go to " find an attorney/advocate " for whatever

state you are in. COPAA is a national organization of special ed

attorneys--you should be able to find someone who can assist you.

Dear Parents,

This is extremely URGENT. Please respond asap.

We had an IEP for my son's sporadic behaviors. District is offerring NPS.

Parents refuse NPS and want LRE. District denies NPS. District is filing

for a Honig Injunction.

What should I do? PLEASE ADVISE ASAP. THANKS!

We aren't the best forum for IEP questions. We feel for you, but I think you

need to contact your district parent liasion (if you have one) to guide you

through the process of contesting this placement or hire a special ed

advocate/attorney.

http://wrightslaw.com/ has some info.

You say District offers NPS (??) and then say District denies NPS. Not sure

what you mean. The Honig Injunction is supposed to be filed when the school

feels that keeping the child in that current placement while making placement

decisions means someone is likely to get hurt. That, to me, means more than

just 'sporadic behaviors'; they want to expel your child for some incident or

incidents they feel put their staff/students or your child at risk of harm.

This is something you need to take to an advocate or an attorney.

Good luck.
