It sounds like you need to get a meeting of the Child Study Team as soon as possible. If your child is not receiving the education she is entitled to receive, then you have an avenue of appeal to the school system and to the courts through the Office of Administrative law. If the school is offering to send her to a special school. then the school recognizes that there is an obligation to provide educational services, and what you are offering, by having home schooling plus an evening program, is probably less expensive for the school district to implement than a special school.
