School Compliance

[Nancy Long]

After several months of High blood sugars at school and nurses arguing about everything, I called a 504 meeting and made it a conference call where our Endocrinologist was able to listen and the Teachers etc ask questions. It came to the point that the school did not want to accomodate my daughters needs during state testing. So, Our Endo stated that she would document the schools non compliance to my daughters medical management plan and I had a simple form drawn up by a lawyer that stated that the school in refusing to comply totally with the medical management paln was totally responsible and would be HELD totally responsible for everything from Health issues to academic performance. The RESULT: My daughter now has what she needs to take care of her diabetes in school and in the classroom with accomodations.

It's a shame that it had to come to you being so lawfully proactive, but it takes one to encourage others. So, in a way, thank you for scaring the crap out of them.
