The Next Battle in this Accomodation War

My formal letters to the Superintendent, Principal, 504 Coordinator, and Director of Schools were delivered today. We have not had any new issues at school (that I am aware of) but I am again asking that someone be trained to supervise Jada administering her insulin through her pump and that staff be trained on Glucagon injection should the need arise. I set up a Scribe account and uploaded the letter and its attachments there if any of you are interested in reading it. It was drafted mostly by the ADA Rep who has been very helpful through this entire mess. When I posted the letter online, I replaced Jada's name with Student and also removed my email and phone number since this is now a public document.

Of course I will post any updates!

Great Job Jennifer. I don't think you realize how much strength you have.

Good for you for continuing to advocate for Jada. For not backing down or giving up. And for paving the way for so many children.

I am so proud of you. :)
