The school's statistics (report cards, various NYC DOE reports) would document the school's unlawful exclusion of kids w/disabilities. <br /><br />The NYC DOE doesn't need more problems re its prior unlawful policy allowing these kids to be excluded. I imagine AFC would not have a lot of trouble handling this case and getting a positive outcome for the young lady.<br /><br />If you give the name of the school, I'll be happy to dig up the relevant statistics, which you could publish documenting the unlawful exclusion.Dee Alperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120417823162375671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248065179634488001.post-64810551948570377212011-02-13T08:27:22.494-08:002011-02-13T08:27:22.494-08:00Mark,

Should I accept students because of who the are and their potential or accept students who would improve my progress report grade? I tried to find students who could fulfill both but nevertheless, it made me feel horrible at the end of the day. I understand the need for accountability but there needs to be a better way...we need to be accountable for accepting and supporting ALL students.<br /><br />-Mary<br />@Edu_TravelerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02229948647032104599noreply@blogger.com
