>M made it half a day before the school sent him home. He wandered away from the room he does his school work in. He was uncooperative. It doesn’t matter to these people that he is mentally ill.
thinking of getting a lawyer involved.

>Time goes so fast. It has been 10 days since my last post. 🙂 M was in the hospital for his medwash. Came home last night. I took him to school this morning. I shared the med info with the school. I came home.
Shortly after I got home the school called. The principal told me that they need a discharge summary from the hospital for M. I asked why. The response was so that they could know what behaviors to watch for. I explained that as soon as I could talk to the doctor I would get her what they needed. Her response was that she needed it immediately. Then she told me that if M had any behaviors they would call me to come and get him. This upset me.
I called the doctor. She didn’t sound happy and asked for the name of the principal and the telephone number for the school. She also asked me if I had an attorney. I asked if I needed one, and she said I might before we were done.
I then called the superintendent of the school district. I explained what the principal said, and told him that I was not happy that M had just gotten back to school and she was talking about sending him home already. I said that M has a right to an education. He agreed and said he would head over to the elementary school today.
I then got a call from the principal commending me on the doctor and apologizing if I misunderstood what she said about sending M home if he had a behavior.
About an hour later, I heard from the school again. They said that M was really tired and wanted to know what meds he took this morning. I explained what they were. I then talked to the special education coordinator and she said that M was really tired. And that he really shouldn’t be at school because they didn’t have a reentry meeting for him. I asked why we needed the reentry meeting, and she said it was because they needed to know what the doctor said. So I explained that the doctor had called and talked to the principal. The coordinator said that she would talk to the principal.
I am frustrated because it seems never ending to me that they want to keep M out of their school which is funded in part by my tax dollars.
