I have no idea, but I found this post HYSTERICAL. Not the situation, mind you. I would have been shooting fire from my nose and taking prisoners. What ended up happening anyway?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164420416881517854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111064072849484956.post-73756176754087973132008-11-06T23:28:00.000-05:002008-11-06T23:28:00.000-05:00Ok, coming from someoone totally on the outside an...Ok, coming from someoone totally on the outside and not going through this, it absolutely cracks me up. The absurdity of it all is laughable.<BR/><BR/>And my letter? Something along these lines:<BR/><BR/>Dear Superintendent,<BR/><BR/>I am writing to to you express my concern on a few levels in regards to a recent incident involving my son.<BR/><BR/>As a preface, my son is (list accomplishments). We recently took him out of school on an excused absence for a family vacation for a week. While on vacation, he completed all his homework, which he turned in on the day we returned. Additionally, he has made up all his tests and quizzes without issue.<BR/><BR/>However, I recently received a letter from XYZ agency (see enclosed) which I find baffling. The tone of the letter is completely inappropriate for a first contact with any family, let alone our family which never should have received this letter.<BR/><BR/>The fact that we received this letter at all is concerning to me, as the data it was based on was errnoeous. In the conversations that I had with the agency, this is not the first or even an infrequent occasion where a family has been referred in error. It does not reflect well on the school district, and I sincerely hope that you will assist in modifying the process for referring families in the future.<BR/><BR/>The second issue is also related to the letter I received. When I received the letter, I phoned the school and was told that Mrs. A was not available. I called back a few hours later to speak with her and was placed on hold. The secretary came back on the line a few moments later with a mesage from Mrs. A stating that (quote).<BR/><BR/>I find this to be unacceptable, as I have an issue that I would like to have addressed. When a subordinate is out of the office for a length of time, it is ultimately her responsibility to address the issue and at the very least hear me out and work to address the problem with the assistant principal going forward. This is not the first time that I have had difficulties with Mrs. A this year, and I can only hope that you can help educate her that her responsibilities fall outside her strict job description.<BR/><BR/>I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further should you have any questions. You can reach me at XXXXXX.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your attention,<BR/>Johnny's MomMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803503583347758969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111064072849484956.post-1486652338911869172008-11-06T15:16:00.000-05:002008-11-06T15:16:00.000-05:00Just awful!

It so saddens me when things like this happen because yet again, people and money are taken away from cases/kids that really DO NEED these services. People need to get their freaking act together.Shippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127156706874124531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111064072849484956.post-28239665756183564292008-11-05T21:20:00.000-05:002008-11-05T21:20:00.000-05:00WOW.

I would totally go to the superintendent... and email might be good also so you have a record of it.

Overnight is better, but may be too long for the situation.<BR/><BR/>I don't blame you one bit for being angry (with caps and exclamation points) -- if you want an objective eye to review anything, happy to do that.<BR/><BR/>Amy's comment did make me laugh, though. Perhaps she's right that the Principal was "seeing red" this morning.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04712245590233116481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111064072849484956.post-36838917559804436922008-11-05T10:24:00.000-05:002008-11-05T10:24:00.000-05:00OMG.
