    Well, the deadline has passed with no answer. Not surprised. Moving on to the formal complaint process. A total pain in the you know what and at least we are a mandated state so I have a process. I'm not giving up because it's clear that what I am asking for is supported in our system! Onward!!!

    OH MAN! that's pathetic, on their end! You need to complain and make sure it gets resolved. Go as high as you need to, to get results.

    We'll letter went off Friday and I got a call Monday to set up a meeting. Crazy how I have to take it to the next level to get a response! And I'm not even looking for agreement at this point. Just an answer, any answer as long as it's based on policy and not pulled out of thin air! Meeting is set for next week. Wish me luck smile

    Update - NO RESOLUTION! UGH!

    Had our meeting today, which happend surprisingly fast once I went the formal complaint route. Still no resolution though. Thankfully, I'm in a mandated state so I know where to go from here. I have to wait one week for them to have the chance to fix it and then it escalates to the next level of formal complaint in which they have 45 days to get back with me! LOL! I've got to laugh or I'll cry wink. Seriously, maybe this time next year I'll have my answer and I'm in a MANDATED state! I can't imagine how all you others have managed with out the minimum of a mandate.
