Q: What are the rights of a parent to child's classroom assignment if the basis was just random selection?
My child was transferred to another classroom and school claimed they randomly selected the students to be transferred. What are my rights as a parent so my child stays in his original classroom assignment. I hope someone can enlighten me. Thank you very much.
A:
Parents generally do not have a legal right to demand a specific classroom assignment for their child, especially if the school's basis was a random selection process. However, you can communicate your concerns to the school and inquire about any available options or appeal processes, as schools often consider parental input when feasible. It's advisable to approach the situation diplomatically and collaborate with the school to find a suitable resolution.
