    I'm so glad he's still in 4th grade.

    This may have been asked and answered before, so forgive me if it has. Is changing schools an option? And are you still planning to move?

    Thanks for the update.

    I can't believe they are being like this. As bad as it is though, you could very well be a trailblazer. And heck, there's always the media in the end (not that anyone wants to go that route for many reasons, but as a last ditch option...)

    Changing school districts in NJ is not an option, unless we choose to shell out big bucks for a specialty school for children with special education needs.

    Are you near any local charter schools? Also, for whatever reason the CST felt that a child needed another school program, not offered in the home district and it is considered least restrictive, the district must foot the bill for tuition.

    Find out through your department of Family and Child Services if NJ has educational liasons. They work for the State not the department of Education and they would work on behalf of you and your children. They have the ability to make sure that thing are truly done ethically and fairly and as of 2013 every state should have them.

    Thank you all for the good thoughts, offers to help, and ideas. They are not falling on deaf ears, but I am refraining from posting any of our strategies here, just in case.

    Lurker since I am close to where you are.  You are on the "other board" right?  Can you PM me there?  I am having an issue and could use a lawyer as well.

    I tried to, but it wouldn't go through. Feel free to PM me.

    Wow. Seconding the charter school idea. Also, had no idea you were in the neighbor state!
    Much love and prayers.

    PS: @strawberryglobug @CaptainSerious when life calms down we should do a meet up someplace in the Garden State.
