Just a follow up on this...
I made an appointment with his secretary to speak to this guy. He called me back to tell me, "You can come in if you want, but my decision is final."
With that, I canceled the appointment and contacted my LegalShield attorney, who wrote a brief letter to the Superintendent for Curriculum explaining the situation. Two days later, I got a call from the school principal, who apologized for the confusion and told me that the paperwork was being processed.
I hate that I had to go that route, but I felt like that the administrator was recklessly keeping my son back, and if I couldn't get him to reason, it would have to get ugly. I wish more parents had the tools to stand up to these... well... ... people.
