I would like a 2123-2014 calendar.

Although I went to this school and was fine, I now have 3 children in the district, one with an IEP (meaning he had been evaluated and has special needs in learning) giving him additional rights by law to allow for his disabilities in learning. In fact, the head of special education not only pushed me to send my son to an alternative school but also lied to me stating I needed to drop his IEP for him to return to the district. This is in violation of the law and I have it in my email. When I brought the information to the district office hoping the school board would see what was happening, I was sent a letter in the mail with a recommendation my son be I the IU 20. For some parents I am sure this is a great option, for my son, on the other hand, there were no steps taken in between going to the regular education classroom and being sent to the IU 20. He was 6 and had never been violent yet was restrained several times at this school. I could go on, but it will almost sound made up with how absurd the district is. After fighting back, I was not allowed to contact the teachers, my son had in elementary school. He is a bright boy but does need accommodations which we worked through in 2nd grade and then it all dropped off. It has caused our family tremendous stress, and no one is even willing to give contact information for the super intendant, so I wonder, what else is being hidden? Would the super intendant resolve the issue or is he part of the problem as well? Bottom line, of your child is not naturally gifted in school they will not be supported here. Do not move to this district if your child has ADHD, audio processing issues, or emotional support needs. They are not willing to accommodate their obligations. Your child deserves more.

I have submitted a full review, but it is not posting. So in a short review, do not take the word of the educators in an executive position is Tricia Viglione, though will be lied to. You will be pushed so their agenda is met when all your child may need is a little extra support from the staff. And it you try to escalate the issues you will not he gave the information to the super intendant, you will be told to can't be provided despite your paying school taxes and having a child drowning in distress because the school refuses to accommodate their needs.
