Hello. I have two questions I am hoping to find the answers to.
We recently moved to a new school district in Fl and they have a couple of policy's that I am not comfortable with as I feel they violate my or my childrens civil rights.
My Daugher is in 7th grade and we received forms stating that ALL children in grades 6-8th must purchase a PE uniform through the school. The notice further states that any children who do not purchase and wear a uniform are subject to diciplinary action and that their grades will be affected.
Doesn't this violate my daughters right to a FAPE?
My other issue is that all the school's in this district require parents to sign up as school volunteers in order to accompany their children on Field trips or be involved in classroom activities.
The school also requires that all volunteers undergo a background check. So in essence the district is conducting background checks on all the parents. If you do not sign on as a volunteer (and submit to a background check) I cannot be involved with my son's class.
Is this legal?? I should mention that my sign is covered under IDEA because he is autistic.
I would also like to say that although I have no problem with volunteers submitting to background checks, I do not feel that they should be permitted to force me to sign up as a volunteer.
I do not feel that my child is at risk by other parents as the school policy states that no child is to be left with someone who is not a school employee.
Thank you.
