I had been told it could, probably would happen. I guess I was being optimistic so to say I was shocked was an understatement. On February 13, 2015 we got a letter stating that Trevor had too many unexcused absences from school and therefore could not get his license. (Permit) I immediately called the assistant principal who deals with attendance (the one we previously dealt with regarding his attendance and the doctors note and getting all of his absences excused). He rudely told me that they did not tell the DMV anything and that I needed to read the letter and do what it said. I explained that Trevor's doctor's office had said with all the previous issues that this may happen and that a notarized form just needed to be completed by the school and sent to the DMV. He said even with the standing doctor's note, all of Trevor's absences were not excused. He said I also needed to call the school for every absence. He had previously told my husband and I in a meeting we could only call for 10 absences. I explained this to him but he did not care. The letter states to call the representative from the school for attendance (which is him). There are other options like waiting until your 18, attending 60 consecutive days (with infusions, this will not happen ) so I guess we have to request a hearing. The catch is Trevor's school is a charter school so it does not fall under the school board. We are unsure of who we request the hearing with, etc. I am emailing the principal and this assistant principal along with the board. I hope to find out our next steps. Trevor was so excited to turn 15 on Sunday the 15th but now has to wait until this is resolved to get his permit! Why do these poor kids have to suffer in every aspect of their lives? I am working on a quick resolution!!
