On the side of town I live on there is 2 districts with good deaf
programs. One is new and one has been there for a while. The one
that is new has ex PDSD teaches and students that got fed up and
left. The other one is in the district I live in and the High school where
they have the deaf program also has a gifted program which means I
could send Brittany's twins sister there because she averages 95% in
all her classes.
Going to a res school is not an option. The only good ones are out
of state and we want to be the ones that raise her. This isn't
something that I just thought of at the moment. This has been
ongoing for awhile but whatever is decided Brittany will have a major
say in the final decision

BBNT,
I want to applaud you for your efforts as well as others to get this superintendet's contract not renewed by the ASDB Board and your fellow parents and you did what's the best for your children and their future. *Thumbs Up*
In addition, I also highly commend you to discuss all kinds of issues concerning your daughter's education with Brittany and allow her to have a final and major say in this matter. I am saying it because so many parents tend to send their Deaf children to schools for the deaf, oral schools for the deaf, and/or mainstreamed schools with substandard or insufficient programs and curriculm without consulting or allowing their Deaf children to have a final and major say.
Again, I want to congratulate you and your fellow parents for your efforts and resolve to have this superintendent removed and I am sure that everything will work out in your favor.
