Update

Once again, I am stunned by the outpouring of support and offers of help. Some of you have even done research and sent links, which have been amazingly helpful. It's times like these that I really believe in the power of the people.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for all your support, kindness, and hard work on our behalf.

I am up to my eyeballs in red tape right now, and trying to straighten all this out.

But I will tell you that we have contacted an attorney who specializes in student's rights here in Georgia. As soon as it is determined that we have a viable case, we will move forward with legal proceedings which will include filing formal grievances against the administrators involved in this situation.

If it is deemed appropriate and not detrimental to our case, we will contact the local media. Parents need to know this kind of stuff is happening right under their noses and could happen to their child.

I never wanted to be that Mom on television in front of a phalanx of microphones and a cavalcade of reporters. It will get ugly if it comes to that. Every decision I've ever made as a mother will come under scrutiny.

But this can't be allowed to happen. Period.
