The school district intervenes (23 Sept 09)

Yesterday, Mr. GG went to the school and observed our son. Most likely, he spoke with the principal and the ESE Specialist before the teleconference began. The ESE Specialist called me up and told me that they would like to have a teleconference regarding our concern that AX is the only 3rd grader in a classroom full of lower grade levels and all of his peers are in one classroom. We told the principal that AX must be with his peers but she was adamant to put AX in the classroom under Mr. H. Hence, we forwarded our concerns to the Equal Education Opportunity department (15 Sept 09) and then we wrote a letter to Ms. SS. Our concern was copy-pasted to the deputy area district director (16 Sept 09). Ms. SS handed over our concern to Mr. GG (18 Sept 09). His recommendations somewhat floored me:
1. Another child who is a peer of AX will be transferred to the class of Mr. H.
2. AX must have his Language Arts 3rd grade not 2nd grade so he can keep up with the FCAT.
3. AX must have extra-curricular activities.

I will continue once I have the time. I have to run.
