My child just started public school this year and they were told and given all paperwork showing my child was being treated for adhd and ptsd and will be getting autism screening. They have suspended my 1st grader twice in the last 2 weeks. They have been restraining my child and not informing me. The principal told me not to listen to my 7yr old anymore and said my child was manipulative and defiant on purpose. We just changed the adhd meds 2 mos ago and it’s not being tolerated well. They met with me and had my child in the room while 3 staff told me how bad my child was and asked what I was doing for discipline. My first experience with public school is disgusting. They have no patience or empathy. I asked for a IEP/504 evaluation on the 3rd day of school and they ignored me. Asked again the first time suspended and still nothing. They didn’t do anything until I called the school board to report this.

My daughter has attended S Ray Lowder for two years the principal here is very unprofessional. I hate sending my daughter to this school I’m scared for her safety every day. She is biracial. She has been hit on the bus multiple times by the same boy nothing is never done about it she has got bullied by the same person all year Principal has not done nothing about it. She comes home crying every day telling me things that happened and the school does not contact me about anything Protect your child because the principal at S Ray lowder does not care.
