Not fond of ESE department there is definitely a conflict of interest whether she has the ability to meet the criteria from the previous ESE specialist. The principal seems to care although the school is quick to pass judgment if you're not part of the in crowd. The educational system isn't the best for ESE students be careful if you want to send your child here.
