[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP needs to explain what these behavioral problems are that the school is mentioning. If your child is bitting and hitting people everyday, in the classroom,  they I think it is fair to not have her ride the bus. Not saying this is your child, but we need more info on these behavioral problems [/quote]

No. They can’t exclude a disabled child from a school field trip regardless of the child’s disability. They can’t require a parent attend.[/quote]

They cannot exclude her from the field trip, but they can work out alternative transportation if it’s more appropriate to her behavioral issues. They cannot require that OP drive her daughter or that OP attend (unless all students have to have a parent chaperone regardless of any special needs), but they can choose to do something like provide a staffed van as alternative transportation for students they believe shouldn’t be on the main bus. It sounds like OP wouldn’t be willing to accept that, though. It’s the charter bus or nothing.[/quote]
