[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the replies, they've been mostly helpful.  Seems to me asking to meet with the principal falls under the general category of what I asked about getting the school to work with me and a how did you go about addressing issues with school policy sort of thing.  And thinking ahead never hurts, in my experience, particularly with important issues.  I'll have to see if the principal is open to having a discussion now given that we can't enroll yet, that doesn't involve referring back to the nurse - I'm hoping the school doesn't set up that sort of catch 22 - we won't discuss with you whether we can meet your kids needs until you enroll but you can't enroll until you know if we're able to meet your kids needs...(unless I want to give up the opportunity for finding a school that will work with us on this).

If it is a DCPS school then they should all be held to the same standard and could be made to hold to the standard. A 504 plan would help. If it is a charter, it will vary, but again a 504 plan will help as well as possibly the DC charter board, OSSE, and DC council, etc. Our kid did not attend school in DC when he was young but I do know of least one charter school that was nut free. I think I would lean towards whatever school is a best fit for your kid educationally since I am pretty sure you can get them to do the things I listed previously and from FARE. You may have to be a squeaky wheel but that is OK since it is your kid.[/quote]
