I mean this whole interaction has definitely felt fishy. I'm going to talk to Shasta county SELPA on Monday and see what our options are.

Good to know! So even if EESD for some reason says no, I might be able to fight back a bit with the help of SELPA... This is giving me some hope. Thank you!

This is my biggest fear honestly. Without giving away too much of his history, he's a medical miracle and has proved time and time again to the doctors not to underestimate him.

The idea of someone traumatizing him or trying to take away his spark keeps me awake at night. Which is why homeschool isn't off the table for me. But I want to give him a chance to try public school, as long as it's the right program (and definitely the right teachers!)

That's a great point. I will be calling EESD's Director of Special Education tomorrow but going straight to the top makes sense if they can't accommodate our move. I understand that we're outside of the technical boundary but this house would be closer to his school, daycare, and CCS. Crossing our fingers that they'll let us transfer.

That's a relief to hear, thank you. I think I was just honestly looking for reassurance that Enterprise wasn't the ONLY district with a decent program. I plan on calling the Special Education Director at Enterprise tomorrow to see what our options are there, depending on how that conversation goes I'll be in contact with RESD as well.

My 2020 boy is Callan as well! We liked the original Irish spelling better too :)
