[quote=Anonymous]Given the language that some people are using with their recommendations, they are not familiar with the DC school structure.

1- keep your son home today and send a note to the teacher and principal why your child is absent.  If you are too worked up, have your DH write the note.

2 - 1st thing - call the ombudsman.  Frame out what has happened, steps you have taken, what you want.

there are some key words you need to use that are trigger words for the school.  Go read the bully prevention guide:
https://dcps.dc.gov/bullying

And repeat back phrases to the ombudsman.  For example, these incidents have ..... caused my child stress, he had his 1st accident in 2 years because he did not want to use the hall bathroom for fear of seeing the boys who have harassed him.

Most recently, he has expressed fear of additional physical harm given the incident on 3/21 ....

I would like your support as I have had multiple meets with teachers and leadership at my school (list dates this has been discussed), and informed the school of incidents via email on (list dates).  To date, the action plan to address this has been ineffective.

I need your help protecting my child from this.  He should have a positive school culture in order to support his learning and have an adequate educational opportunity.

This is the policy doc:

Also think about what you want - do you want to be placed in another neighborhood school?  This is an option.[/quote]
