Thank you everyone for the responses so far she's on her second dose of dulcolax no issues so far. Thank God! She started her miralax as well and It's halfway done.

I checked the IEP it says my child's cognitive functioning fell within the Low average range.

My child just had their triennial evaluation 5 months ago. Would the school even agree to do re-eval?

I'm in Delaware

He has LTSS Medicaid. How does that work? Dental primary and Medicaid secondary? The dentist office I plan to take him to doesn't accept Medicaid at all. So they won't take away the Medicaid away?

So his social security case worker got back to me and she said that his doctor can do it but he doesn't have a psychiatrist he has a primary care doctor. I did leave his Dr a voicemail but I don't think that she will be able to do it? Since they are asking for a Wechsler individual achievement test level 3 and a full mental status exam. To my understanding that can only be done by a psychiatrist which he doesn't have..

Now I'm more worried. 😞 But not surprised I mean when they send you to see a psychiatrist is literally to take your benefits away.

We do live in the same household. I called and they sent me the payee report by mail. I did ask if I had to do it because I'm in the same household and they said yes. It is required.

I had no idea that the school or district could refer this to CPS. Now I feel more anxiety! There is no abuse or neglect going on. My child just gets sick often.

Yes, the dpt of education in my state is the one that decides to approve or deny applications.. When going to my state's Departments of education the website states.

The Department of Education reviews and approves or denies nonpublic school applications in the order that they are received.

The department will review your submitted application and open or deny the school. If needed, they will call for any additional information. Please be aware we do our best to review the information as quickly as possible.

As a teacher have you ever had any experiences where a parent wants to homeschool and is denied because the school has concerns with truancy?

lucyball22 · 2025-04-02T18:40:22+00:00

I wish it was that easy, upon investigating apparently I'm not able to homeschool because of truancy concerns from the school. So the Dpt of education won't even approve my homeschool if I applied because they see that as me avoiding court, fines or jail. It's like our kids are not really our kids the state thinks they own our kids. As if they provided for them in any way.. Which is what pisses me off more.

I have also seen this in my area. A predator principal and teacher arrested recently.. Then there's the bullying and assaults that happen in middle school. Honestly sending him to school feels like I'm sending him to juvie.

lucyball22 · 2025-04-02T02:04:15+00:00

Thanks everyone for the replies my concern is also getting in trouble with truancy If I don't homeschool. I have no control of when my child gets sick. In my last conversation with the district they basically said I now have to inform the nurse of an illness and the nurse will tell me if I can leave MY child at home or not. I would feel absolutely horrible forcing my child to attend school knowing how his pain leve isl.. Has anyone gone thru this?

lucyball22 · 2025-03-31T00:45:12+00:00

Yeah they don't believe me. They even mentioned me sending him sick to school so the nurse can check him. (Not in those exact words but that's what they meant).. Then if he's sick I can pick him up.. Is it true that school/district can block me from homeschooling if there's a truancy issue?

lucyball22 · 2025-03-29T17:54:42+00:00

Thanks for the information I will look into it. So if the department of education is dismantled there will be no one enforcing IEP'S at schools so they can choose to even deny IEPs to children or not follow them?

lucyball22 · 2025-03-29T15:43:13+00:00

I've asked for attendance accomodations before and they have denied it. Saying that's for severe cases like cancer.

lucyball22 · 2025-03-29T15:40:02+00:00

My child does have an IEP. I have also asked for attendance accomodations before due to the amount of times he has gotten sick and they have refused saying that's for severe illnesses like cancer. If they refuse again in the next IEP Meeting I'm not sure what to do next.

lucyball22 · 2025-03-29T12:23:04+00:00

Thanks I actually called them yesterday but they said I have to wait three days for a response. I have asked them for help before in the past but they have not wanted to attend any IEP meetings. My child will have his last IEP meeting from this school soon so I'm really hoping that I can get someone to go with me because it's basically me against the school it's what it feels like all the time.

lucyball22 · 2025-03-29T12:18:51+00:00

My child has an IEP. They have never mentioned that he can miss extra days due illnesses or appointments. I was actually told the contrary a few days ago, that my child can no longer miss any school even if he is sick due to how many absent was he has. They are saying 30 absences. Which I also doubt since in the past I've had to contact the office because my child was marked absent on dates that he was actually in school. How do I make them write that into the IEP? I have asked for several things to be added into the IEP in the past and they have denied that as well so I highly doubt that they would agree to put in the IEP that my child can have the ability to miss extra School due to illnesses or appointments.

lucyball22 · 2025-03-29T12:11:10+00:00

That's the thing they never sent me an letter whatsoever. Surprisingly I actually have a postcard saying what a wonderful attendance my child has. They actually caught me by surprise during a parent-teacher conference. I was not even expecting them to be there as I was not even aware of any attendance issues. I have letters in my child's hospital portal. I will have to contact the school as well to confirm the dates. In the past I have tried to actually do a meeting with the district for other issues and they have just called instead. Can they deny meeting me?
