If your child is special needs and has an IEP. They will try to strip the IEP until no services are left. My child was bullied and then blamed for reacting. I was brought in for numerous behavior meetings where it was highlighted that my child was the problem. Principal would say it’s not bullying, it’s just kids being mean. My child was made into the problem and his skills and enjoyment of learning faded.At Upper Blue, you will have to fight for your child’s needs and right to an education if your child has special circumstances.
