George,
Good to hear from you too. Hope you have been doing well.
The school district has not contacted me even one time since I began homeschooling Carter. They offered us nothing. Not even a "is there anything more that we can do to help change this"! I applied for my unemployment and have been denied 2 times. First denial - I didn't quit my job for good reason (even though I sent them almost 80 pages of complaints, etc. that I had made against the school). The second denial - I didn't give the school enough time to try to rectify the situation - is a year not enough time? George, do you just advocate for disabled children or do you take on actual court cases for children like Carter against schools? I am so tempted to take my case to court. This school district has literally stolen from my son. I have been told so many times that if
someone doesn't stand up and do something that it will just continue to happen. I don't know, anyway . . . I don't get the news letter I don't believe so send it to me if you can. Thanks!
Gina

Gina,Good to hear from you. I don’t have any ideas at this time, but I’ll keep you in mind.Is the District providing anything for Carter, like related services (OT, PT, Speech, etc?). Let me know please because Districts are still responsible for providing related services to home schooled kids.Are you a member of any home school organization? There are some. Click on the link concerning home schooling in my newsletter, “Special Needs News”. If you have not been receiving the newsletter, let me know.I would really like to hear from you.George

Subject: [easternokautism] Work from homeHey everyone! I hope that you all are making it through the weather okay. I am home-schooling Carter now and am looking for some work to do from my home. Possibly transcription or something. If anyone knows of anything, please let me know. Thanks! Gina
