[QUOTE="Martie, post: 111398, member: 284"] Thanks Sue, for handling this one so well. JJJ: in IL SDs win 80% of the time---about 50% when the parent is represented by a good school law att'y. Stay put is in effect and I agree with Sue that the SD SHOULD have to take you to DP to change the placement over your objection. However, schools have been known to do things such as call the police if a child shows up after a unilateral SD decision that he/she no longer "belongs" there. I was given an hour to pick up ex-difficult child or the police would be called, and I was in Chicago's Loop when I got that call (from the North Shore). Further ex-difficult child was not presenting a discipline issue, it was a mental health issue.... I called my attorney FIRST not last and they then decided to hold ex-difficult child at the school until I made it there about 90 minutes later than the hour they gave me. Moral of this story, other than ex-difficult child never again attended public school, is that despite the law, schools in certain states do what they wish to and in IL, it is with ISBE's covert blessing. I'm sorry that all of the above has become moot due to the phospitalization. I hope the New Year brings better things for you and difficult child. Martie [/QUOTE]
