[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again. For those who said “move” districts. We cannot. We have two other kids who are older and happy and doing well in HS. [/quote]

Wait. Your older kids did well in the public option, despite fights and bullying, but you think your youngest, due to severe dyslexia, wouldn't be able to do well?

I think you need to stay where you are and pay for intensive OG tutoring several times a week; and if any issues crop up at the middle school, be extremely reactive and file bullying forms immediately.

Op here. Based on older sibling’s negative special-ed experience in the zoned middle school we cannot send our youngest there - youngest DC has significantly more special needs, profound language-based learning disabilities/complex profile. If the public school struggled and failed to help the older sibling with milder disabilities there’s *no way* they will succeed with DC academically, never mind the social implications and environment with bullying and disciplinary issues, weekly fights, kids busted with knives, etc.

We were able to transfer the older sibling to a different school in the district and older sibling is now doing well since getting away from bad experience. [/quote]

So... can you do the same for youngest?[/quote]

Honestly, I would explore asking for the transfer pro-actively, outlining the problems that the older child had, how the younger child has more deficits and asking for a COSA both on the basis of the disability but also on the basis of keeping siblings together. [/quote]
