OTGMom,
I hope my comments didn't scare you. I was just sharing the situation we're in with our particular parochial school. I hear it from folks with kids in other parochial schools in my area, too. Enrollment is down, but the schools are still very hesitant to offer accommodations, citing lack of resources. My impression in dealing with our particular principal is she sees any accommodation as a slippery slope -- "if we offer your DS something, what will everyone else expect?" It sounds like your principal is at least willing to discuss the possibilities.
For us, parochial school is really our only option at the moment (we'd have to move to consider a public school and can't afford the private schools or homeschooling), so we're between a rock and a hard place. We're doing our best to make it an acceptable situation.
Best of luck!
