[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before going through the expense of an attorney, have you contacted your region superintendent to mediate this? If that doesn't resolve it, then pursue an attorney.  [/quote]

My experience is that when adults aren't doing what they should be doing, a lawyer letter showing you mean business can often open the doors that should be open.  OP, what are your goals?  A reasonable one is getting your child into a different school pyramid with transportation.  An unreasonable one is expelling the kid or making him move.  You really need to work out what you see as a solution.

I think the PP who just moved her kid to a private school was wise, but I know that isn't always the answer.[/quote]

I would try to really drill down on the dynamics - is it just one bully, why is your child the target, why do you think the school is not taking more severe action (including making sure not just that the kids do not sit together but also are not in the same class), and what is your specific goal going forward?  I could see more than adequate grounds for transfer to another elementary school under the transfer regulations, but then the kids might be together again in middle school (where bullying reaches its apex).
