The Lafayette principal told me that it didn't matter if other kids bullied my child because she wouldn't notice. We had an excellent IEP, but getting it implemented was a huge fight.



Yikes!

You don't have to be in bounds at the particular school, they'll place your child in the classroom they think is best.

Tyler used to have a decent program (teachers, not the terrible sped coordinator) but my info is old, so don't rely on it.

Depends on level of need, but we were happy with Inspired Teaching.

It was too far away for us, but I really liked the look of SWS's autism program.

Not Charter - too much staff turnover UNLESS you think you want to try for private placement and a charter MIGHT be longer term a path that will be easier.
