Roadrunner Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Does anybody understand student’s academic rights at PS and is it possible to PM if you do? I don’t want to out all that publicly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malam Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Student's academic rights are generally quite vague and up to the administration's will. This can be an advantage if one is skilled at advocacy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I think it can vary from district to district. Some areas have educational advocates that might be able to give you more insight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nart Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 What area of school rights? anything more specific you can provide? Really I can think of only two guaranteed school rights in California. 1) No school fees in California or mandatory fees for books, field trips, etc. 2) if your child is in special Education or has a 504 plan are you guaranteed rights; such as you are supposedly guaranteed a free an appropriate public education. One very important right is due process so there are ways to file complaints with the state or file for due process and/or mediation. Are you talking about a general education student? Often you have to advocate by being vocal and thinking ahead of what roadblock you will find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Depending on what state you're in, assuming the student isn't in (or being evaluated for) special education, there may be no particular academic rights. For example, I believe a Michigan court has ruled that even though there's compulsory attendance, students do not have a right to learn. In North Carolina, grade placement is at the discretion of the principal, so there's not a right to be in a particular class. Local resources might be more helpful to you than anything else.

goldenecho Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 If the question is regarding IEP or 504 rights, a lot of the parents in the learning challeges forum here have kids in public school (or have in the past) and can help answer that. I might be able to answer some things but because my child's IEP team has been pretty accommodating I really haven't had to fight over much, so I'm not as knowledgeable as some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
