[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here...the medication switch was from Adderall XR to Ritalin XR because DS was not eating on Adderall.  That was it. Please do not assume that just because we are making a medication switch it was purely for direct treatment and not for addressing side effects of one medication.[/quote]

Your child is suicidal. At 8. Your child needs more support than a summer school program can offer. Period. [/quote]
10% of ES kids make suicidal statements. More make murderous statements. That's not the same as being suicidal. [/quote]

Do you expect teachers to know how to handle multiple suicidal threats? This is not something they are trained for. And is not up to a teacher to decide whether a threat is real or not. That child should be taken to the crisis center.[/quote]
How should MoCo handle those 10% of kids? MCPS doesn't have the resources.[/quote]

MCPS actually has some excellent resources for kids with MH issues. But they aren’t in mainstream programs and definitely not in mainstream summer school. [/quote]
MCPS doesn't have special placement options for the 10% of ES students who make suicidal statements. Nowhere close.[/quote]
