Who do these people think they are? They seem to believe that they can get away with anything. On top of all of the other compliance and civil rights violations… today they refused to allow an educational specialist, I hired to observe my son, in his classroom. They turned us away at the door this morning even though we notified them of her scheduled visit last week. They are lying and saying that the did get the letter. We have documentation of course. I find it shocking that the school administration continues to delay my son getting an appropriate education and waste their time and ours in a game that is not only illegal but morally wrong. How does such evil find it’s way into the lives of the most vulnerable children?
Re: Marin County of Office of Education...
Rose,
We need to talk. I know of others interested in filing with OCR on Marin. I lived there last year and now am in Sonoma County. I also work with an advocacy group out of Marin. So…please email me privately or I would be glad to assist on the board. I have not been looking at this board lately so I don’t know your situation, but I do have experience with Marin and their lack of compliance and respect for the law and parent.
I am sorry to hear that things went so poorly today at school. Unfortunately one apple will ruin the whole bunch!!
I guess my only suggestions is that you file a complain with the DOE and go to mediation. I also don’t understand the rationale sometimes but I guess they feel it is better to do it this way, I am not sure what exactly it accomplishes!
Again, sorry to hear such a sad story! I have been there myself and I understand the need to vent!!
