I want to ask a question about a policy in a special education plan. I am going to be puposely vague for privacy reasons.

I have a student who has a health issue that, in the past, has required that he / she be sent to the hospital by ambulance. For financial reasons, the student's parent does not want 911 called and an ambulance dispatched. They want the student to go to the office.

My concern is, first of all, for the student. However, I also have a concern for myself. I'm sure we have all experienced times when we call the office and calls go into voice mail because they are busy.

Can I incur legal liability for this policy of not being able to call 911. I'm very uncomfortable about this.
razmum If you have a union, I would contact your union rep or someone on the state union level. I'm shocked that your district would agree to this since it sounds like they would be the ones held at fault for agreeing to include this in the plan.
