Is this directed to me, the OP? I initially agitated to my principal, who agreed, agitated himself, and got nowhere. I don’t trust my union to keep my confidence. No one does. There is basically no one in central who would listen. Do you have ideas? That’s why I came on here. I’m hesitant to testify at a public meeting, because of retaliation.

As a parent of a special needs child in a more severe needs setting, I can tell you we are always fighting for more support, and always shut down by the admin. Or someone from central office. It's an uphill battle that teachers (IME) are not fighting hard enough for. I don't have other advice, other than to keep pushing the issue, perhaps to other avenues you are afraid to explore.

So who should I contact?
