[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  You need to reframe your appeal for relocation.  First, you need to document each incident your daughter reports to you.  Here is the incident report form:

If you don't document that instances, then it is easier for them to ignore your complaints.  You need to start documenting every instance where your child is subjected to bullying. Tell your daughter to tell you every day and explain to her that if she wants to move to a better school where the kids will treat her better, she needs to tell you about them because the school will only move her if they have a list of all of the incidents.  Hopefully the desire to move to another school, will prompt her to tell you daily about the incidents.  And the forms will show them the magnitude of the problem.

Second, you need to send an updated letter to the Superintendent's office asking for a transfer citing that your child is currently being bullied for her race.  Cite that the recently approved policy by the school board should make this a priority as they claim that they are sensitive and respectful to claims of bullying and racist bigotry:

State that if they are not willing to address the issue and either move your child or move the bullies, that you will contact the police and report them as hate crimes and also contact a lawyer to obtain a fair settlement including moving your child out of the hostile environment.

Do not stand by and let this system ignore your daughter's unacceptable situation.[/quote]

I second all of this, but would add that you need to be flexible about the school your daughter is moved to. If you're too focused on one in-demand/overcapacity school, you'll get a lot more push back than if you show a willingness to consider other schools that are better able to accommodate transfers.[/quote]
