Help: Pulling Child From School for Visits

We foster two children. Per the agency they are developmentally delayed. One just entered school, and is learning so much it makes me very happy. However he is still far behind where he should be. School (grade K) is only 3 hours and I feel he needs every minute of it. However the agency wants to pull him out of school one day per week for parental visits. Apparently afternoon visits are inconvenient for the social worker (it's not even a parent issue).

I am having a fit. I feel this is very detrimental for the child.

So far, I have told the S.W. that if they insist on arranging visits during school time they can provide the transportation. But that didn't seem to phase the S.W. Transportation is 30 minutes each way, I really thought that hammer would work.

Does anyone have any idea what other leverage I have?
