This school has let my son down terribly. They claim to have an autism program but some idiot decided to double the amount of kids in the program this year and now suddenly my son is having major acting out problems that he did not have last year. The paras are completely worthless and unable to handle autistic children. They do have the compassion or training necessary for this role! Whoever made the decision to double the kids in the program should be suffering now instead of my son. I can tell you I will never support another bond initiative for public schools again. They are just a con.
