Updated 7/8/2010: Chicago Public Schools - The Educational Violations of Student X

The Educational Violations of Student X in Chicago Public Schools

On January 4, 2010, we became involved in a case that disclosed the unacceptable incompetence of Chicago Public Schools (CPS). 

Since the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year, which commenced in September 2009, a child set in a class room 'failing' as her parents fought for the school to implement documented educational strategies that worked in her former private school.

In addition, unlike modern day school systems, which have contact numbers and emails listed, the Chicago Public School system is very antiquated.  One visit to the website and one quickly will notice that under Department and Contact listings there are only main numbers; there are no direct contact names, numbers or email addresses.  Twice we were told by people in  Dr. Barbara Eason-Watkin's office that they would not give us their email address because they did not see the need to get involved.  Dr. Barbara Eason-Watkin is the Chief Education Officer.

Needless to say, we had to become very creative in getting these emails to bypass the system CPS has in place of faxing documents, a system which forfeits responsibility and accountability.

Is your child Student X?
 
The DCSS Superintendent’s position to stand firm in forcing Student X to move backwards cites a 1973 court case out of Texas, offers Student X a position in another school on the Needs Improvement list and recognizes that all the schools that meet Student X’s educational needs are located on the Northside of Dekalb County.

II NCLB Violations

*Program Fraud Complaint Filed with Office of Inspector General
*Complaint filed with ACLU
*Complaint filed with Georgia Professional Practices


During the course of fighting for Student X's Educational needs, we recognized that DCSS was misleading, misrepresenting, and responding to our NCLB right as a HB 251 right.  Therefore, trying to deny Student X's right to move to a school, which meet the student's educational needs.

Many more parents' NCLB rights may have been violated.
