Greetings. Based on your inquiry, it appears you have been disciplined in some way by your academic institution that you feel is incorrect. The proper procedure for addressing an institution's actions is by way of an Article 78 filed in NY Supreme Court (if all internal procedures have been... Read more »
For legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons? What's wrong with that as long as you follow company policies and procedures and the union contract?
A lot depends on the evidence, the perpetrator and the timing
Under the new law in New York, you can file a criminal complaint against your abuser and sue them civilly. The statute of limitations is eliminated.
My son is a 14 year old boy with Dx of school phobia x 7 years. He recently graduated from a district 20 Brooklyn phobia program. He was accepted into a regular HS and was not able to make the change from a phobic program to a regular school. I am placing an impartial hearing to try and get DOE to... Read more »
What does the IEP say about placement now? You need to have a private opinion from a psychologist that the placement in the IEP is wrong, and call an emergency CSE to amend the IEP. If the IEP is changed to require private school, you are good. Your expert might have to come and present his/her... Read more »
The document was missing goals, and the district removed two agreed goals, resulting in inappropriate/ no reporting. Now are removing services with no progress reports to support. When realized error, they altered the document to cover up one goal was missing at reporting time.
Request an emergency CSE in writing to address these issues.
She is almost 16. (5 months) and now wants to drop out due to the legal pressure and due to her mental health. Can they still keep this case on me if she does? They gave me educational neglect! This is all mental health related so why is it a crime against us? Also, They did not give her an IEP. I... Read more »
Why is it a crime? Because that is how the system works. If she has an IEP, you need to call an emergency CSE and get placement so there is no neglect. If she has no IEP, you must demand an immediate educational evaluation. Then, do whatever they say to save yourself. On dropping out, it is... Read more »
In the term yr I was given a grant. I could not use such grant because i was not in compliance with Federal Law requirements. So I was told to wait 1 year. I did..

To whom do you owe the money? If the school, write a letter denying the debt, and wait to be sued. If the Higher Education Authority or USDOE, then check your credit report and see how it is reflected and reach out to them.
My son has been suspended 3 times, other two times were not alleged bullying, the bullying had been going on for almost 2 yrs, and the school district says, My 12 yr old is the problem. My 12 yr old has disability thats severe, and struggles with many obstacles daily.
Does he have an IEP? If yes, what does it say? If not, you need to have him evaluated for disability services. You can do it privately, or request that the school do it for free.

Deny everything in writing. Call the US Department of Education to report the fraud as well.
These students are legal adults and I know from experience that doctors may not communicate with parents without written consent. I am wondering if school workers can.
Great question. Private schools might operate via contracts and consent forms. Public schools operate under statutory law, and in NY the age of majority is 18. Thus technically, absent a consent waiver to communicate with others, public school administration and faculty should be communicating only... Read more »

i have a case with cps that is almost closing unfounded but don't want school to call him
You can go wherever you want. You have to pay for the private school unless the IEP provides for it, but the IEP follows him wherever you choose to send him.
Having a documented disability that prevents it, like a 504 plan.
Can the New York State Department of Education force a private, religious school to learn secular subjects when the school in question receives no state or federal funding and doesn't award diplomas to its graduates?
If possible, I'd like to know which laws are relevant in such a case.... Read more »
If you are looking for a New York license, you need to follow the requirements. A "school" can be unregulated, like a religious school that meets on weekends. But if you are looking for the school to satisfy the education requirement that kids be in school, you need State licensing.
What protections do we have to make sure they don't get kicked out of school?
None. Kicking out of school for that reason violates Federal and local law. If it happens, call a lawyer.

It can possibility involve elements of both types of law. A starting point could be a consultation with an attorney who could examine the promises or representations made by the school and their legitimacy.
