re: Questions on Central Private School

Um, no. Spare me the lecture on a topic that you know nothing about. My daughter has a chronic genetic immune deficiency. The school systems we approached refused to understand the condition, despite our best efforts to inform them. We tried to conference in her specialists. All we wanted was notice when a flu, or strep, or any other significant illness was going around. Nope...they wouldn't budge. The time we spent dealing with the public schools on such a simple request was ridiculous. It simply isn't worth going through that over and over again. Not when the private schools have been overwhelmingly accommodating in comparison.

I could see that being a problem. At any large schools there is going to be flu or strep just about every day. Especially from fall to spring.

I actually taught in Central for a little while. As you are new to the "area", it says you are from England?, you will find in the central school system that they are very helpful and nice folks. I do not know of any school in Louisiana that would refuse to coordinate with you when flu is going around.
Services must be provided even in a private setting. The local school district provides them when the private school cannot. I teach resource at 2 private schools for the public school district. I think tank is the arrangement in central right now. It can be added into her service plan or IEP, if you go public, that the school will alert you when known illnesses like flu are prevalent in the school. They can do this without divulging personal info about other students by simply not naming individual children.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Totally understand your concern. Having said that, you might be pleasantly surprised at how the Central school district handles it vs. elsewhere, and it would be worth talking to the administration about it before going the private school route. I can imagine how larger school districts treated the situation. There are layers upon layers of bureaucracy and incompetence at each layer. If your daughter has a rare condition, it probably wasn't written in a manual or handbook somewhere, and bureaucrats are lost without printed words in a handbook.

In a school with 800 kids, what would constitute something significant that you'd want to know? 35%, 45%? So someone has to monitor this daily? What if they're out for a few days? It's not as easy as you make it out to be.

My prediction is you'll end up home-schooling her.

You'll be better off checking out smaller private schools in BR like Runnels, Dunham, U High or Episcopal. All these schools have good track records and classes are not overwhelmingly big. I can also see these schools being more tentative to your daughters needs.
