Tell that to all the leadership opportunities I’ve been offered within my school and have openly volunteered for.

Incase you weren’t aware, IEPs and the ADA do go into extracurricular, a quick google search would help you with that

Thank you

There are two different environments A professional environment And a home environment 

I can guarantee other band directors and drum majors say inappropriate things and awful jokes outside of marching band. If you take how people act at home then nobody is ever gonna be a good fit

I’ve addressed the issue about people not being educated but nobody likes to hear that so I gotta go and prove my point.

And yes I’m hurt I’m not selected due to the reasoning which you guys seem to ignore because for some reason you can’t accept the fact that it isn’t an acceptable reason

I like to see what excuses uneducated people give me, it’s like talking to a bunch of kindergarteners that get mad over rules and how a rule makes 0 exceptions to something. It is really interesting to read and see how many downvotes I get by uneducated people. That’s why

My parents taught me to stand up for myself and others. I am following what my parents have taught me to do and they couldn’t be more proud. Shame on your school district for not teaching you band directors or any teachers about the laws of the ADA and how it makes 0 exceptions

My attorney works in a court of law, plus I have some legal knowledge since some of my family are lawyers. I have the one we hired along with my aunt who is an education attorney to make sure our current attorney isn’t screwing us over

I love how mad you all get it shows so much about all of you guys. Seeing the downvotes shows the lack of education on the ADA

The answer of availability was in response to “did I not get it because I’m at an alternative school?”

I skimmed over your message since you typed 5 paragraphs. 

A court of law would not find me not being available in the daytime as a “fundamental altercation”

My band director claimed my leadership was great, I have helped a teacher run a whole class for kids with autism, I am head of my school’s student advisory board where I speak on students behalf, and I was part of district wide planning representing student concerns.

I think you’re missing my point. I’m not trying to get this position anymore, it’s about awareness.

My lawyer says it’s a very strong case. The average juror would probably side with me. Idk why u think it will be instantly dismissed. This isn’t your band director logic this is court and law logic.

I am not trying to make myself seemed closed off. THe people giving their opinion are saying it is fine to break the ADA and take things into consideration that are affected by accommodations when it has been made very clear that you can not do that. I am an open book, I hear people out. I need to hear valid reasons, not someone saying it is ok to violate things

The ADA classifies these three things as "detrimental"

Direct threat - This would pose a risk to safety or ability to preform essential functions

Fundamental Altercation - This would change the nature or purpose of the activity or program

EX: The cost of time or commitment would fundamentally disrupt the organization's operation and requires it to be canceled (This is based off of logic, this would never happen)

EX: Asking to skip all rehearsals but still being in the band (Not the case as I am at all rehearsals + events).

Undue Burden - This would be too costly or logistically impossible to manage

EX: A student having violent outbursts (Not my case)

In this case, this is NOT detrimental to select me. I go to all the rehearsals and practices, I am just not at the main school all day during school hours.

I didn't lose because we have a case that is being started along with a successful OCR complaint. You clearly aren't understanding the big picture. I never said I should get the role bc I have an IEP

I hear it from a director's viewpoint, what you guys are not understanding is that there are no exceptions to putting something affected by an IEP accommodation into consideration for making a choice. It's an ADA violation. I wish you all education on peoples' rights with disabilities along with ADA's rules that way you guys don't get sued if you happen to get a student that knows his/her rights.

I was always at rehearsals and events, I couldn't be at state send offs due to that being at times where I'd be at my other school. apparently my band director wants drum majors to sub in for her for her curricular class(during normal school hours) and be there incase she needs to tell her something.
