upset caregiver: what do these results mean?

Last week I called my sons pediatrician and explained to him what was going on. He wrote up a letter from cdc and his own expertise. That my son should be able to get back into school. Then the next day my son had a covet test and it was negative. I took that into school and gave it to the nurse, who said "its not going to change anything, hes still out till the 29th. I also mentioned that my husband had been back to work for two weeks. No change, I was so angry that when I got in the car, I was crying.
As far as school work goes, they haven't sent home anything at all!
I asked about it also, no reply. I got a nasty text from the nurse before that saying I shouldn't be texting my child's case manager about trying to get him back in. So I would say I'm not being supported by the school. I don't to much about his Iep, just what. Has to do his academic issues. I'll have to find it, and read it over.

Thanks for the heads up!

This is making ME mad!! You should not be treated this way - and by the school nurse? Sounds more like the school bully! In my state and school district, a negative COVID test gets a quarantined student back in school, so I don't understand why they are not allowing your son to come back in person. And you have every right as a parent to contact your son's SPED case manager or TOR (Teacher of Record) any time you want about anything. You can also request a conference at any time. So please do not let this nurse intimidate you. Shame on her! Your state should have a parent advocacy/liaison organization that can help you with this, where a person would be assigned as your advocate and can help walk you through the steps to get this resolved. You could request this liaison to attend meetings with you, as well. You have the right to bring whomever you wish to meetings! Even with your son going back on the 29th, you should request a statement be added to his IEP stating he will receive hard copies of any work should he be quarantined in the future. That IEP is a legal document! I'm sorry, but this is a huge pet peeve of mine - schools are supposed to help families, not make things worse, especially when you are going through so much other stuff right now. Please keep me posted.
