i tried to pm you but your box is full. So if you and anyone here can answer this question-I'm going to revoke my son's schools' rights to  contact drs,psych. etc. who should I send the letter to-the principal-or the special ed. director. and should the letter be certified?

Something must have happened to upset you very much in your son's school. If you do not want the school to have the right to access your son's doctors' records you should send certified-receipt return letters to each doctor, the principal and, if you want, the Special Ed Director.

Really, you can just notify the doctors and they can not share the info but put that in the letter you send to the principal (that you notified the doctors in writing.

Hope this helps and I hope everything is OK.

I deleted in my PM in box, feel free to PM me. Sorry about that, I didn't know it was full.

I just know speaking personally how I would feel if that happened to us. I have no experience with this BUT I would be all over it!!

I would probably be over there in person to the school in the principal's office, that is me and having her call the superintendant informing them of what the teacher did. I would then tell them what I want to happen from now on and who do I need to send paperwork to. The teacher needs to be spoken to, reprimanded, fired ( not sure if it would???) etc. - she/he needs to be held accountable for her/his action.

Ask them what to do paperwork wise as far as who to send it to. I am honestly not sure. I would also send certified to cover my behind, so to speak. Definetly. I don't think anyone in my children's school would ever overstep that boundary and call a doctor, yet the wrong doctor!! That is horrible - who did the teacher think she was helping?? herself??? It is wrong. I also didn't think they could make the call. There is patient/doctor confidentiality!!

PM if you need to!!

I am going to wait until next week to go to the post office to send a certified letter. that way by the time they get it, the kids will be out of school yet the office people will still be there. I don't understand why they are making me out to be the bad person. I think education is soo important. I also asked the principal by email for a copy of some of the recent behavior reports(time out/eap room papers) so I could take them with me today when josh starts seeing a therapist, would'nt you know it was ignored. Its funny they sure know how to call or email when things are going bad yet when its not bad and you write them you get no response. I emailed joshs math teacher last week to see if his math score had improved it was at 40 percent because he did'nt understand percents and fractions, would'nt you know i got NO response. I'd like to pull my hair out.

I just know that my husband would beat me over to the school in person. I wouldn't do it over email. Then they can hide!!

Does your son have an IEP/504 plan? It sounds like he needs extra help and they don't want to provide it. have they evaluated him?

Do you like the school? Would you ever move him to another to start over with better teachers and friends?

I'm so bitter with this school. moving is'nt an option my house is paid for and I really could'nt. although I could do a babysitter change for him to another school through my brother. he does have an iep although its worthless, they did'nt want to give him any services. and they would'nt accept the dx of atypical autisum unless they tested him for it. i will get his iep in a minute and post what is on it. Josh's dad and me split up when josh was a newborn, josh has only seen his dad about 3-4 times in his life, now I heard he lives in Ca-we live in Indiana and he has terminal cancer- so its just me fighting the battle. I know though if josh had a strong dad going to the school they would'nt be pulling the cr#p they are pulling with me.

We have what is called Choice, we can go to anther school district if there are openings in the classrooms. We leave ourtown and go to another one, a better one.

Or is there another school in your district that you can drive him to? Just to give him a fresh start.

You do not have to move to do this.

That is what we did. We are moving him to a better middle school than is our homeschool. My son got accepted and we are thrilled there was room. A little extra drive but worth it. This school is supposed to honor the IEP's and 504's better than others in the area. Good Luck to you
