My daughter has been sent home from school for the third time this week for behavior issues. We have a behavior plan in place as a part of her IEP but I am not sure anyone is following it. I am worried that she is falling behind by being out of class all the time. I am also worried I may lose my job if I have to keep picking her up; I have had to leave work twice this week already.

Answer: When you pick up your daughter up from school ask to speak to the principal and request that a meeting be scheduled with your IEP team to discuss the issue and to possibly adapt her behavior plan. Let the principal know that you are very concerned and want your child to be successful at school and not continue to have behavior issues at school. If the principal is not available or does not answer your request right away follow up with an written e-mail request.
