This post will have to be rather sketchy on the details due to all that's happened, but let's just say suddenly I'm extremely happy K will be changing schools. On Tuesday after the PPT meeting, she was very upset when I went to leave. Crying hysterically and grabbing for me. It broke my heart to walk out the door and leave her at school, but I knew she needed to be there.
A note home that afternoon let me know the extent of her upset. The two hours after I left were spent with K in tears and unable to calm down. Instead of helping her in the autism classroom as was the point of the autism program as I understood it she was taken down to ISS (in school suspension).
I can't share what happened next but by the time she came home she was bruised on both elbows, a handprint on her forearm, a bruise on her stomach and bruises on the back of both knees from being shoved down on a bench. Let's not forget the terror she now has about being arrested for crying thanks to comments made by the staff.
Today I went through the steps of our end of the investigation and the proper authorities are doing their part. Instead of grieving her failure at this school I could not be happier to get her out of there and into the other one. I can only hope she has a better experience there and that we can start making up some of the regression and fear that has been instilled. Bruises fade fast, fear not so much. :(
