Hello, I'm from NE Pennsylvania, and my situation is a bit complicated....
Yesterday afternoon, my six year old son got off of the school bus, covered in vomit. I immediately asked him what happened, he told me he got sick during the day at school. I asked him why he didn't go to the school nurse. He told me another student in his class asked the teacher if he could go to the nurse because he felt ill as well, but the teacher "yelled at him", stating that "the nurse is too busy right now, she is tired of kids coming into her office just because they want to go home early". My son said he was afraid to ask after that because he did not want to get yelled at too. He got sick on the bus on the way home from school.
As soon as he told me about this, I got on the phone and called the district. No one was available to speak to me immediately, so the secretary took my info and said the principle would call me back. About 15 minutes later, the principle called. I told her what happened, and what my son told me. She told me she spoke to my sons kindergarten teacher, and that the teacher said no one asked to go to the nurse at all during the day. I immediately set up an appointment to meet with the staff (meeting in today at 2PM EST).
After my conversation with the principle, I called my sister (my neice is in the same classroom as my son). I had her ask my neice if anyone else in the classroom got sick or sent to the nurse during the day. My six year old neice confirmed that yes, 2 other students in the class got sick during the day, and both asked to go to the nurse, and the teacher sent them.
I am scheduled to meet with the staff of the school this afternoon about all of this, and I plan on going there with both barrels loaded (this is not the first incident I've had with the school this year, I've been dealing with ongoing discrimination from them aimed at my 5 year old twins with disabilities).
If this doesn't get resolved today, legally, what can I do about this?
