North Carolina
This is what was sent to me from the superintendent of the school district. Also, C. is my son i deleted his name for privacy.
Ms. Lawson,
Hope all is well. Thank you for bringing to our attention your son C. Johnson health condition. According to the office manager or Dr. Dish, C. is unable to take AP classes due to stress. Ms. Reedy speaking for herself or for Dr. Dish states that he can participate in regular classes, honor classes, extracurricular activities, and sports. Please be advised that we share your concern for C. health and well being and want to see him graduate in May without any medical issues due to stress. As superintendent of schools I am advising our athletic director and head football coach to allow C. to remain a part of the team, but not allow him to practice or participate in games. Also, the stress and pressure of physical conditioning (weight lifting) could trigger the stress level beyond what is safe. If the stress of AP classes is more than he can handle, certainly the stress of practice, games and weight lifting would only add to his medical condition. The last thing we want to happen is have this information in hand and not take action to keep C. well. I am directing Mr. Watts to change C. APs classes and physical conditioning. This will remain in effect for all sports and become part of C. file.
Thank you for your support and concern.
My personal belief is they are retaliating because we provided a Dr's note as they would not let my son out of his AP classes any other way. How can they override what the Dr. clearly said. The email above is the exact email sent to me minus the names. Is this legal. My son is a senior and is going to miss out on football recruiters looking at him and a potential scholarship offers. Please Help!!!
