Amanda, Blah! Was the new principal at the meeting? I, too, have been to those meetings where you feel run over. Did you have an advocate with you? Can you get one? That has helped us. Also, talking with the principal in person has seemed to help us. Sending the emails is a great idea because it gives them a second chance to do the right thing. We have left a meeting very discouraged and then gotten a response to a letter which gave us the answer we wanted. Keep pushing, and good luck. Nan
