[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP and any others in similar situation, 
I'm late to the party here as I was on vacation when we received our similar letter, plus it took me a few days to realize it actually meant what it meant (you are cutting all my preK 4 daughter's services - 8 hours a month of direct therapy which to me is a meaningful amount - after we just agreed to this a month ago)?  My main issue is with the timing of how this is all communicated.  I have already signed a contract with the private pre-school - I might have made a different decision if DCPS had been upfront about not providing the services this year.  I know it won't make a lick of difference but I will feel better if I complain to someone - have you contacted anyone in the DC government, council, media etc. as was suggested by many?  Or pursued legal options?  I would love to add our voice to whatever chorus has already been started (if any).
Thank you,

Hello Amanda this is OP. I starting to think my family was the only one who got the letter! I think many more parents are in for a rude awakening once they try to schedule services. Wevhave contacted city council, deputy mayor for education, and US Dept. Of Ed. Feel we have very strong procedural arguments over lack of consultation and notice. Archdiocese is suing. Would love to connect with all parents who have been blindsided like I was. Trying to think of best way to share my contact info without giving it to the trolls?[/quote]
