I hate it, but it looks like I am probably going to have to send Kiddo to Kindergarten. I am already starting my research into various whatnot...because thats what I do, prepare for the very worst. Especially when dealing with bureaucrats. Even more especially now that I am facing the biggest bureaucracy in the country.
Anywho, today I was reading the draconian attendance policy, and noted a doctor's note is needed if a kid misses 4 days. I am assuming that even kids in public schools maintain their medical privacy rights. I plan to ask my doctors office if they have a form, and/or insist that any note only state the date of visit and whether Kiddo is fit for full activity or restricted activity...no diagnoses or details. Does my assumption sound valid?
Trying to find THAT info led me the FERPA, educational privacy rights
This little
handbook sounds like it was written just for me. And yes, I will be pestering the poor school with many of these questions.
Any parents here run into trouble or have concerns about privacy for your kids in school?
