looks like i am going to need some 504 help.
ds now in HS and his plan was reviewed and updated end of 8th grade and transferred to HS. I have attempted to follow up with different people regarding the plan and have been told that they are reviewed (was this past tues) and I'll get a signed copy in the mail.
I spoke with assist. principal about cafeteria and he pretty much said, well we have many students with lta, none consider eating in cafe. are you sure blah blah.
I have a somewhat productive conversation with him (he ate at ms cafeteria) after mentioning that he does have a 504 plan. So, he gets the info for me and i'm comfortable to let him eat there.
yesterday, my ds goes to the nurse to give her his updated excuse from PE. She says OH. You're the FAMOUS (son's name)! says, yeah well we reviewed your 504 plan yesterday and you need to tell your mom to call me. Its very Ele men tary. You're a big boy now blah blah.
Today, I get an email from another Assist. Principal that is asking me to come in to meet with the "team". Two dates for next week are given, with a request for "documentation" from his doctor, with a diagnosis and doctor recommended accomodations.
I call to make the appt. she calls back .
Long story short, she tells me that the school has policies already in place. (you all already know where this whole thing is heading, I'm sure).
I tell her that I will have the doctor put a current date on the letter that is already on file since nothing has changed since the letter was written/submitted in 2005. she says they need "more" and I should include his testing numbers.
then she tells me that accommodations must be doctor approved/recommended.
Then she asks if there is a "learning" concern (with the tone of learning needs to be affected)
So, I say who will be at the meeting that is certified to interpret/understand his allergy scores? she tells me the nurse.
At this point, I pretty much hand her a can of whoop a** and quickly address those points and we have a pretty heated exchange. I could hear her back down a tiny bit because she couldtell that I wasn't going to be intimidated by her.
So, in an email she wrote at 9:05am, she gave me two dates, 9/18 & 9/19. not even 45 minutes later, she gives me 10/9 or 10/10. I say, I'll take 9/18....she tells me the date is now taken. I say oh really. in 45 minutes two days of appt. are now gone? Are you sure?
So, then I insist she follow the plan until then, that she personally makesure his teachers are aware of his health concerns, that he is fully included etc. I ask who his delegates are and if he knows.
Going to be ugly. I can feel it. Now, I can't find his updated plan. looking everywhere for it. I guess that if she wants to give me a hard time, she can go right ahead. I do need a refresher...will be happy to hear input and I'll be reading in school resources a lot the next few weeks.
