My son was dignosed with ADD through testing requested by our public school in Dec 2003. The testing took 3 months to schedule once it was requested and scheduled by the school. The evaluation stated that he qualified for a 504 plan although no formal 504 plan has ever been written. They promised him an extra set a books the following year which never was supplied. Over the course of the next year my son was constantly being set to the dean for his inability to stay focused and "behave" in class. He was attacked in gym class and fought back and was labeled a "bad boy" and the school said that he would be expelled or shipped to a last resort school. My son is not a "bad boy" and this school was not helping his behavior with ADD. The alternative school requested that I have him in counseling which we did, and even required him to be on medication or face expulsion which we did (even though we didn't approve). Now because we made waves the school has referred my son back to his home school, and is now up for the original expulsion and a hearing in a few days. I feel that my son has been unjustly treated by the school district since the original report to them that he had a disability to learn with the ADD diagnosis. There was never an IEP evaluation, basically the school district did nothing but allow him to turn assignments in late & have more time on tests. To me this wasn't helping him, this was only an avenue to allow his problem to get worse. Is there anything that I can do legally to force the school district to stop with the expulsion and give my son that help he has needed since December 2003 when the Neruological Consultation was 1st requested and paid for by the school district? Can the school district go forward with the hearing if I request an IEP evaluation, or will they have to post phone it based on the results?
