[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.

You mention two separate issues. First - academic level and special ed evaluation. Have you requested an evaluation in writing? What does "dragging their feet" mean, especially if he's only been at his current school for less than a month? If you've requested an eval in writing and they have refused to evaluate, this is worth consulting with a lawyer or advocate.

Second - bullied and reprimanded for his actions. Again, what does this mean? Bullied and by students and reprimanded by staff for how he responds? Both by staff? Being reprimanded for one's actions is not something you can sue for. If the school hasn't responded appropriately to bullying then you should follow up on this - not sure if you can sue. We need more info. [/quote]
