QUESTION
Can I sue a school for ignoring my note for my son to stay inside?
Asked on Mar 04th, 2014 on Personal Injury - Idaho
More details to this question:
I wrote a note for him to stay inside due to (at the time) an unknown allergy. They said he could stay inside for 3 days then we need a doctor’s note. He took the note to the coach and she ignored it and said if you get your rash to go to the nurse. So the following day I wrote another note stating the same thing and they didn't even give the note to my son to take to his coach. And he came home with rash that day.

You need to make an appointment to go to the school and speak to the coach and to the principal. It sounds to me like the coach is a hard-head.

Yes, but I'm not sure how you would measure your damages. The cost of pursuing the claim may outweigh your potential recovery.

Suing for a rash is not going to happen. Set up an in-person meeting with the school administrator and the coach. When you meet, express concern, not anger. No accusations. They may deserve it, but they won't listen if you just come off as an angry parent. So, be prepared to explain the problem and that your son is caught in the middle, with you writing notes and the school not responding. Meanwhile, get that dr.s note.

Why didn't you get the doctor's note to begin with? I would complain to the district administration, but no, you don't have enough damages to sue. The rash went away, right?
