- Appeal if your child is sent to a school other than their school of origin or a school requested by you.
- Have your child enroll in and have a full and equal opportunity to succeed without being separated from other students.
- Receive educational services for which your child is eligible including transportation services; participate in meal programs, referrals to health care/immunization services, and other appropriate services.
If your family lives in any of the following situations you may qualify for services:
