We have had our 2 nephews (place with us 1/06 for the 3rd time now). This time we were aloud to place them in our school. We just had a conference with 7 1/2yr olds 1st grade teacher. She wants us to hold him back. She thinks part of the problem is all the school he missed last year. I didn't understand and questioned her. She got us copies of all report cards and showed us, he missed 29 days and was late 39 days from 9/04 - 6/05. These children were returned 9/04 and in the court order it states that they were to miss no school without medical documentation. I talked to the BOE, Superintendent and principal at old school. The school never recieved the court order. Principal said the school sent letters etc. but never took parents to court about truancy. The principal said that she didn't have the records, but for me to put a written request into my school to review the boys accumulative records. I did that yesterday and I get to see them today. She knew of the history as they were placed with us the second half of the prior school year. She said thier main concern for the boys was to make sure they came, got cleaned and fed. (But not take them to court or file a complaint knowing the history?

GRRRRRRRRR The principal said I may not be entitled to view some confidential things, I guess DYFS will have to get that for themselves, what a shame! I just can't believe this. They slipped through the system again. Wish me luck today.
