@brantly Unfortunately the school is private and receives no funding from the government. We’ve talked to her disability advocate, the school’s lawyer, and the person in charge of special education for the school district and it seems like what her school did is legal 
I’m honestly stunned by the lack of protection for disabled and special needs children in private schools.
@HRSMom I don’t think so. As mentioned above her school receives neither state nor federal aid. Her therapist thought it could be a protection against liability, but DD has doctor’s notes saying she should and can be in school?
