Marytheres, I applaud you for maintaining a professional, facts-based tone when the school was clearly personalizing the issue and failing in its core responsibilities. That the principal and team have the gall to presume to administer medical advice as administrators is astonishing. They are so clearly overreaching their expertise and taking a CYA approach to obfuscate their negligence.
I still can't get over their condescending to lecture you about tone, as if you're in a personal relationship and owe them the courtesy of sugar coated language after being blatantly called a liar. That's just hypocritical bull. I like to think I would have been as collected as you, though it's mighty unlikely.
I'm not the parent of a 2E child, but it seems plain to me that a medically necessary accommodation should neither be a source of contention nor parental guilt, as the school seems to believe.
Kudos to you. I'm excited to hear about your son's ongoing success. Maybe I should send the principal some salt to make eating his hat more palatable.
