[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to sue DCPS because my son has gone to many good schools and is currently in the 3rd grade and his comprehension level is at a Kindergarten level and the school is dragging their feet to asset him for an IEP/504. He continues to be bullied and reprimanded for his actions; whether warranted or not. And we've only been there less than 30 days. Emotional distress/ Maltreatment and Educational negligence.

Document everything in writing. Names, dates, descriptions of incidents, plus all correspondence with the school.

Being behind isn't enough to warrant an IEP. Does your child have a diagnosed learning disability? If you suspect your child is disabled, get on the list at Kennedy Krieger or Children's National for a neuropsych eval. DCPS won't budge until they have a piece of paper written by a doctor telling them that a child needs support. Don't trust DCPS to provide that for you. They have no incentive to do so. There are plenty of LDs and DDs that can lead to difficulty around language, including autism and ADHD. Plus auditory and visual issues. Get it sorted out and make it harder for DCPS to say no.

However, if your child doesn't have a disability and is just behind, you have very little recourse outside of hiring a tutor on your own. Half of DCPS can't read. [/quote]
