[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to start a paper trail. After each time this happens, every parent of a kid that gets hit needs to email the principal saying that this is unacceptable and then email the principal’s direct supervisor, also. This child needs help and a different placement. In your email you need to refer to hitting as assault, and you need to say that witnessing other children get hit is causing your child secondary trauma. It is quite likely that this child is also hitting the teacher, which is also secondary trauma for your child to witness.

If the school has put in measures to try to manage this, the school staff cannot tell you, because of privacy laws. There are things they can try, but due to staffing shortages this might be hard.

Your child is entitled to FAPE (free and appropriate public education) and you need to say that your child is not getting FAPE because he is being assaulted repeatedly. Not getting FAPE is what spurs lawsuits.

You can file a state complaint that your child is not safe at school. The biggest bang for your buck is to contact your school board member to make them aware of the situation. They want to please you so you will vote for them again.

With each email I would ask that your child be moved to a different room.

I have been a special education teacher for many years and it is incredibly hard to get a child help if they are struggling to behave in school. I like working with that population, but am often surprised at how long it took to get a child from a general education classroom to my program. It’s unacceptable and parents need to make a big stink about it. [/quote]

Especially in fcps they hate when things are in writing keep writing-everything in email if they call to avoid it in writing….follow up in writing and repeat what was said in phone call with a thanks again for speaking with me.
