[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Ok so full disclosure, this is actually my nanny and her DD, and yes they are brown, and both nanny and DD do not speak English well as they are recent immigrants (especially mom-DD is making progress). I’m just so angry about this situation and I do feel it’s racism. Mom and DD were sobbing about it the day that it happened.

I ghost wrote a letter for them in English (I speak their native language) and tracked down email addresses for the principal and superintendent and helped them get it sent off. I just laid out the facts and their requests for the situation to be remedied (they want an in person meeting and apology, as well as an explanation about how this happened and what they will do to prevent it from ever happening again, and also they do not want DD to be alone in any future disciplinary meetings with the school). I offered to go with them to any meetings if they want.

The school acknowledged receipt of the email and they say they are looking into it and will revert.

Thanks for all the advice here, I borrowed some of the language I got from this thread in crafting the email. [/quote]
Good for you OP!  I applaud you taking action for what is right.[/quote]
+1 OP.  I hope that not only the administration, but also the IEP team will take your letter and follow-up very seriously. [/quote]
