Attorney to help with documentation for social/emotional transfer request

[Anonymous]

We did a social/emotional transfer for one of our sons two years ago prior to his senior year. All we needed was a letter from a therapist and then we gave his school counselor and asst principal, who was handling it, his preferred school he wanted to transfer to (it was the closest as well), his school contacted that school to see if they could take him, and they did. It was very simple once his original school agreed to the transfer. Before that, they just wanted to monitor the situation, meet with him, etc etc etc.

Why do your kids have so many mental health problems?

When we moved I wanted to keep my daughter at her same school. She had already moved once from out of states dealt with Covid lockdown and just got an IEP. They would approve the change and gave us options of the 2 closer schools nervous that had open spots. It was not her previous school which was further away. We opted to keep her at the new school. Since our reason was to keep her at the old school for her IEP. They may approve it but they tell you the school and you are responsible for transportation

Did you talk at all to the principal of her original school? I just want to clarify I was a PP and I approached our principal BEFORE initiating the request to see if she would sign off on it. She said she would approve it, so I got the documentation ready and did the first part of the application. Then I let the registrar know I had done that. The principal and registrar do something in SIS and then it showed up. That's when I chose the school and paid my $100. Like I said before, if you have a truly valid reason to attend a specific school, the principal will most likely work with you. Whether or not the school was at capacity never entered into the discussion for us.

I did speak to the principal, she said I would had to submit a request through the system. She did not get the formal request since the school was the 3rd further away. 2 closer ones had opening and would have to try those first.

For whatever reason, the principal was not supportive of the request. Our school didn't even show up as option at all until the school did something on the back end. They let me know when I could go back into the request form and it was there for me to choose. I'm glad your DC is fine in their new school; you don't want to be in a school where the principal won't go the extra mile for you.
