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.

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.
