[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For families we know who've gone through this, the school doesn't tell you directly until Feb. when contract renewal is delayed.  There are usually lots of indications during meetings leading up to that point though.  School wants situation to improve as much as parents do.   Meetings eventually start to include more direct communication and outline specific things that need to change.  More documentation to measure whether situation is improving.  Not much else the school can do if family wants their kid to stay.  Diagnoses need to be made.  New therapies tried.  There might be improvement, then the process may start up again.  Schools don't ultimately make the decision - they try their best to support the family as they make it.

OP if you think you are getting clues, be direct with the school now and ask whether you should consider applying out.  The school can support your DCs application to a better fit school much better now than after a year of failed efforts to fix the situation.  If the situation improves, and your child gets in somewhere else then you have a choice to make.  Much better to be in that position.[/quote]

If the school is counseling the student out, then the school IS making the decision. You can argue that the family shouldn't want the kid to be at a school that doesn't want them, but that's beside the point.[/quote]
