Crazy I know right? Well, in 2 days I have to go. I spoke with someone from the CF hotline and he gave me alot of advice but I was wondering if any of you parents have had to deal with this? If so, how did it go? I did get Makailyn on a 504 this year but they refuse to put on there that she is exempt from regular attendace policies. The guy from the hotline said I will need to get a lawyer to enforce that. So ridiculous that the school has to make things so hard. At first they said there was no such thing as a 504! Then they said she didn't qualify because she was doing well with her school work! I had to get the clinic involved to get them to put her on it but it's still inadequate. I'm so frustrated with her school. Oh, and the principal had 2 family members pass away from CF so you would think she would be on my side! Anyways, any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Katie,
I would be fuming! What kind of 504 plan does not include acceptance of absences? We work so hard to keep our children healthy AND keep their grades up AND keep their spirits up....
I wish I had advice for you, but I just wanted you to know I'm on your side. Walk into that truancy meeting and tell them who's boss!

Not sure if this will help. My daughter has missed days of school then I can count anymore. The school provides a tutor.
She has a 504 plan and due to her help she can miss school.
The school that your daughter is at can lose federal funding if they don not honor a 504. Google 504's and they can also tell you what it includes and what the school must
due. They also tell you how to report a school. Don't back down what ever you do because that is what they are hoping you do.

We are luckey because my daughter is at a great school that
has alot of human compantion.

I wish you luck with this. Pls check out the web sites.
