Need a school solution PG county MD (Beltsville: private school, gated)

[janstar1]

My child is a freshman in high school and has an IEP. Come to find out nearly one month after starting school. My child's IEP was not in effect and a one on one aide that is a part of the accommadations was not present when four students attacked my special needs child and was beaten. No one called me. I went to the school after a scare, my child never showed up from school. I then went to the school and found my child with a bloody nose among other injuries and the principal have yet to respond to a email I sent asking for an explanation. Compliance for PGCPS has been called in because of my valiant effort to find out what was really going on. Awaiting meeting to discuss placement I am requesting. My child does well academically, but has aspergers syndrome which affects the social aspects. What should I do? I live in Beltsville. Do you think this is enough to get them pay for a private school?

So, your kid got beat up and you think that justifies your being paid $10,000-15000 a year to put him in private school?

What about the other kids that get beat up?

News flash, kids fight. Some do the beating. Some get the beating.

Been going on for hundreds of years and will continue as long as there is testosterone.

Perhaps you should teach your child to handle himself a little better.

Maybe not enough to get them to pay for a private school, but they are obligated to protect your child from bullies. If they have failed in their duty, you may have legal recourse. However, I would wait to see what they will do.

I hope someone with a similar experience will respond to you.
