I'm sorry some parents are jumping on you, OP.

As a mother of two children, one of them with special needs, who were both assaulted by another child whose needs were not adequately met, it can be such an immensely frustrating experience to protect one's kids at school!

I would continue to fill out those bullying forms and request face-to-face meetings with the principal to document, document, document. Encourage other parents to do the same, because the school needs proof to make a special placement happen. Special placements can and do happen! It IS possible for the school to put pressure on the child's parents to admit the child to a different program within the public school system. But they have to pushed by other parents, because otherwise they're not going to do all that paperwork and organize all the necessary evaluations and schedule all those meetings, because they're already super busy. That's how public school works! Squeaky wheel...

In our case, too, I am acquainted with the mother, who is totally ineffectual with her son - he walks all over her and she demonstrates very poor parenting. It's not her fault she has a child with severe behavioral issues! But it is her fault when her son punches and kicks other children right in front of her and she does nothing. Or when she gives him an iPad and he immediately drops it and scratches the screen and she freaks out and makes him freak out. Well, duh. Everybody except her would have predicted that outcome. Etc...

Sorry, no amount of organizing by other parents is going to get a child placed in a more restrictive setting out of general ed - especially if there is no other diagnosis - without a whole lot of procedure and other interventions. Especially if the child's parents do not agree.[/quote]

PP you responded to. I've been in MCPS long enough to know that it happens, and as I said, it takes WORK. Parents don't know that they can contribute to this process, so I am letting OP know what she has to do.
