School bully issue, opinions wanted

It'll cost you a little to prepare the complaint and to have it personally served, but you want shock and awe.

DO NOT encourage or allow you son to kick the bejeesus out of the other kid. That will only muddy the record, and may expose you and your kid to a world of hurt. The "parents" of the other kid are clearly not suitable to be rearing young, and will only seize on any retaliation to pursue a claim against you.

I spoke to the district head tonight. He is the direct boss of the principal at this school. He was not aware of any of this, but he assured me he will be a surprise guest at the staff meeting on Monday and get to the bottom of it. I made it clear that I want to work this out without going to the next step which is a legal issue for them. I also made it clear I will not compromise when it comes to my son and that they need to take care of this right now.

Ok

take a picture of what happened to your sons face if visible ...#1

Your doing a great job handling this ..
I have found if i demand certain things from people sometimes they dont respond the way i want but if i pose it in a question in which they have to tell me what they need to do about something ..IT REGISTERS IN THIER HEAD...Once they say what they need to do or will do then OWNERSHIP of the issue is in thier court..
I would not tell the "whomever" to do anything or else anymore.YOUVE DONE IT..
I would question that person as to what they think should be done. Turn THE PROBLEM ON THEM IN QUESTION FORM....if you tell them its happened x # times.which you have ..
Your wanting someone to tell you "WHAT THEY WILL DO OR what THEY THINK SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. dont say a word until they answer your question.Even if they stall or dont say anything for 5 minutes.Make the DAMN GUY THINK .Then when they give you the answer tell them "ok so you will call me and tell me when this has been done correct" ?
If you get one more chicken SHIZZ answer..LAY THE SMACK DOWN
I WOULD SERVE THEM PAPERS..make a STATEMENT..

AND JUST BE CALM AND FIRM..business like...
GOOD LUCK..

That's bureaucrat for "the check's in the mail." The principal is either incompetent or uncaring. Either way, you won't get instant action. You'll get a lot more attention with a complaint or even just a letter from a lawyer - on Monday.

Monday will tell me a lot about how they are going to handle this. And it will give me the answers I need to make the next step. Next on the list is my lawyer (already spoken to him today), the police and the district.

I thought about the media. How funny would it be to show up with a news crew on a live feed asking why they let this continue.....

Ok, I would not do that. But the thought is fun!

Ask, in writing (email, hand delivered letter), if you can attend the portion of the staff meeting dealing with this situation. Whether or not you get to attend, give them a clear written demand - you want the other kid transferred out of your son's class no later than Tuesday. If the kid's not transferred, lawyer up. Do it all in writing, just so there's no dispute about what occurred. It's up to you to escalate this so they can't just shrug it off.

For me, when my kid is at risk, it's not a time to be nice or patient, it's a time to kick ass and take names.

Agreed. Monday is the deadline for change. I have asked that they remove the kid. And told them if they do not that it will become a legal issue. I told this to the principal, teacher and district head. I will put it in writing and hand it to them on Monday. Thanks for the advice.
I am being "nice" by that I mean acting in a professional manner and not running around like a whack job making threats. They know I am serious. I made that clear. I also made it clear to them all that my sons saftey and well being are not something I will make any kind of compromise on. Ever.

If I do not have the results I want on Monday morning I will go pay the retention fee with the atty. They will be served by Tuesday.

Thanks for all of the advice and input guys. That is why I put it out here, hearing from others always helps.
