[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 700271, member: 20727"] I have been reading up on the laws here and I swear they wrote them purposefully to confuse parents into not wanting to read them. To bad for them I actually have an interest in law and understand it lol I am in Texas more specifically in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex. Homeschooling here is treated as a private school. Which comes with way more protections then it does rules and regulations. The district would not be off the hook at all if I withdrew him, in fact they get a certain percentage of funds that have to be specifically utilized for homeschool students in their district every year. I have no problem helping them spend those $$. They are also required to provide any and all Special Education services I request including speech and Occupational Therapist (OT) at their cost. If anything pulling him out of the physical building would be a bigger thorn in their side (which Makes it even harder for me not to do). Texas also just passed a law that says a parent can request a camera be put in the classroom for Special Education students. Now it was put in to protect the kids that have severe disabilities, non verbal and just can't protect themselves or tell anyone what's going on. They really have no valid reasons to be able to deny the request but I'm sure will drag there feet on getting it done. They only have to send out notification to the other parents but do not require any consent because it's a public school so there is no expectation of privacy in a public place. The videos won't be realeased to me but have to become part of his permanent school records that they have to give me access to. I worked in the medical field until last year (oh how I miss being around grownups) and have been advocating for my patients since I was 16 years old. Most of them had memory and behavior issues as well. I think that's helped me advocate for him. I told the counselor this morning that I want to know where they stand on their assessments and I want the reports asap. I also told her that I have contacted a Special Education attorney and they really doesn't want me to call my lawyer and have him take care of this from now on. I left out the part that the attorneys that I have found and contacted actually only represent the school districts not the parents lol I do really appreciate all the help and advice on here and am taking it all in. I think after yesterday with them not being able to handle him sitting on the floor being a rock and telling them how ridiculously incompetent they all are they won't be calling me today unless he starts a fire or does something equally obnoxious.
