The school called CPS because I couldn't leave work immediately

[Heyteacher]

I re read the post and see no where where they “lied” or didn’t follow their own policy.

I also do t buy Moms story. Ironically we had a similar complaint regarding a child sent home this spring (not from my class but teachers talk). Mom tried telling us kiddo didn’t have a fever after he got home-sorry don’t care, he had one here. Don’t like the policy then home school or charter where they will let you get away with it.

Policy is policy. Whenever I’ve been called I tell them how long it will take me to get there. You would really hate our district policy-is a child shows any signs of illness they are sent home and not allowed back without a doctors note (not saying that is what it was here).

And they lied and didn't follow their own policy so....

Write down who you've dealt with from the school about this and go to the district office with your complaint.

Calling CPS, if they actually did, is overreach but the policy about a temperature (even one that is suspected to be from being outside and not a legit temperature) is normal and has been around for decades.

You’ve got six people before you on the emergency contact list and they called CPS within the hour? Mhmmmm

I am either first or second on the list. Yes they said their policy is to call after 30 minutes.

Hold on. The school will call CPS after 30 mins. Damn!!!

And CPS will probably ream someone for wasting their resources.
I told the school I work out of town certain days. My ex was an hour and a half away. They didn’t like that too bad. I had one retired woman on my call list, The rest worked. Usually I called them if needed. I don’t think the school ever did. Now I got complaints over idiotic things like the way my son sat in his seat. But never how long it took me to get to the school.

They didn't call her list of people. He should never have been tested for a fever especially by forehead after playing outside any real nurse(or parent for that matter) knows this

[Heyteacher]

So she says but I doubt it. They likely left messages or weren’t able to get ahold of them. Which 100% changes the scenario doesn’t it…

To me this sounds like. A peaked off Mom who had to be a parent, leave work and attend to their kid.

I do not believe this. Lol

I do not believe this. Lol

I don’t either. The 30 mins policy is unbelievable.

[Heyteacher]

It could be written policy…. My boys dismiss at 3:30 and if you haven’t arrived by 4 they will call the authorities—but I have never known them to do that.

I was called 3xs for emergency pick ups this year and am 35 min from door to door. I’d simply tell the nurse “I’m at O’Hara and won’t make it for 35 minutes but I’m on my way” and it was never an issue.

I do not believe this. Lol

When my kids were in hs it took me almost half an hour to get to them if I left work immediately. If I was in the satellite office it became fifty minutes. The school literally would be calling CPS every time. Now maybe this school tries but honestly I could see some overworked, underpaid case worker telling that principal cool it or so help me God I’m turning you in for filing false reports. I’ll be taking this up at the next school board meeting frankly because that’s just ridiculous. If mom can’t be found and the kid’s dying sure call. But half an hour commute is reasonable in most cities. I would tell the nurse hey I’m working in (wherever) and it never was an issue.
