Victory
It is with a lot of thought and hesitation that I tell you about our success. Only now am I able to share our story because this chapter has come to an end. 6 weeks ago we filed due process with our school district. “The End” had not ended well and we weren’t ready to accept defeat. I am so happy to tell you that they agreed to settle, and Emma is getting the proper education that she needs, and all of the costs (and then some) will be picked up by the district. My attorney suggested I tell this story with a “less is more” approach, but that’s simply not me. Not that I want to blab about everything that went on, I want to share our story so that we can educate and encourage others who may be in our shoes.
Bottom line. We filed. They settled. We won. We are the victors.

Hooray! It makes me wonder if I should have handled our district differently. So proud of you guys for doing what needed to be done!
Yeah! I’m so happy for you guys and for Emma. It’s a wonderful feeling that your child is in the perfect place to learn!
Well said! I like the style and so happy for you! Another chapter ends for a new one to begin.
Kudos to you for making the process work for you. Many people give up because the fight is just too hard. I’m so impressed that you saw it through and did what it took to see to the needs of your child.
You guys ROCK! Trust me I know that it was a hard fought battle to get Emma what she needed… Congrats!
Yay! So happy to hear the great news. Keep the blogs coming
Glad I had you as a soundboard, Marshelle!
Thank you, Marnee!
