The question is not so much education as damages. Does your son have an IEP and is there a designated peanut free area and was he at it? Before one can answer your question, those questions posed would need to be answered. Sorry
If I feel a parents request are excessive for her special education child, do I have a right to request all communication, with the exception of IEP meetings, be documented and therefore, conducted via email?
answered on Sep 28, 2024
Yes, you can request that all communications outside of the IEP be via email, but I would make sure same is documented in the IEP under the appropriate section, and that there is also a clause for emergency communication

answered on Apr 5, 2023
39:4-97.3 Use of a handheld cellphone or electronic communication device while driving (if that it the violation code on the ticket) is a 3 point violation. You can try and plea bargain down by talking to the Prosecutor but you will wind up paying a higher fine

Thank you

As far as I know, if you have not filed the bankruptcy, then you can request that counsel file under a different Chapter if possible. Chapter 7 vs Chapter 13. You may ahve to pay additional monies but it should be able to be done prior to filing without much trouble.
