I am a very frustrated mother and I am out of options. I am on the verge of almost having to quit my job. All because the school board can care less about my child.
I have two children, my son is in grade 1 and has some speech and motor skills delays which affects his learning levels.
This school has been beyond amazing, they have put in so much extra attention and work with him the improvement he has made is amazing. it's not just his workers that come in from children first but the staff themselves. they even have a plan for him next year so that he's getting extra help he needs.
A couple weeks ago I was forced to move as I separated from my fianc , which has been troubling enough for the kids. Now the school won't let us stay.
I understand that there's a out of district rule, but next year would be the same as this year where the kids go to daycare before and after school and bussed there and back. They have had great attendance and there are no issues getting them to school. My sons teacher has been trying to help me so much because he needs the support he's getting there, when he changes school he's going to be thrown into a grade 2 class with no one he knows, it's going to take them half the year to assess him and come up with a plan and then in the process I'm going to hear from the teachers how behind he is. I know he is!! And right now he has the support and plan in process for him.
The principle at the school is more then happy to have them stay but the board says because we arnt in district they can't get on the bus at daycare. Even though students from the same school are getting on and going to school, what is that!!!! This new school, has a daycare but it opens to late. So not only do my kids have to go through all these changes but I am going to be forced to quit my job because I will be 30-45 min late each day.
I'm sorry I'm a tax payer, and it doesn't matter what district school it goes toward it is still going to one.
And how dare the fact my kids arnt in district determine the help and education they get Expecially in a situation like this. so my son has to suffer because the school board doesn't care about a child's needs they just care where their tax dollar is going.
My son is finally improving being where he is, ask his teachers and all the staff at that school who are helping him. Now not only does he have to go through a family split he has to start at a new school and his whole improvement will be taking by a step back, ask any teacher and they will tell you.
I'm so frustrated and I wish people would stop caring about the dollar and start caring about kids needs. I'm not making a big deal just because I like the school they are at, this school is helping my son! I hope the board is happy that this mother is going to be out of work.
