After having my 3 special eduction students attend here and not be very successful because of the lack of services provided by the district office I would give them an absolute F. I have spent so much time fighting for my kids educational rights that students think I'm a paid employee. A individual education plan should be finalized within 90 days it took from Sept. until the following May to get my sons signed. I was told that an ADD student could not be on a 504 while on medication and she should just try harder. The law states with a doctor's diagnosis a student is eligible for a 504.Being medicated is none of the schools business. After a 6 month battle and getting that child on a 504 her grade point average went from a 1.9 to a 3.8.Now it is time for collage and because of Molalla's lack of addressing her needs a scholarship is out of the question because of the low grade point average. The high school has no resource room and would rather spend 1.5 million on astro-turf than 50 thousand on a resource room. Having a autistic child a resource room is needed for a quiet place to go so he can process and finish the day. Those services are not available he has missed to many afternoons to receive credit for classes and now I have to put him in a alternative school 30 miles from home ,which I have to pay for, so he can graduate. Two psychiatrist have written the school and have stated that long term punishment are not a good idea but he was suspended for ten days for admitting he had tobacco at the end of those ten days he was admitted to the hospital for a suicide attempt, another reason he failed classes was the 13 days total he missed for hospitalization and suspension. My other son had a total bowel blockage and the first week back at school he was kicked in the abdomen and I was told that that kind of behavior is just normal rough-housing and that it was not the schools responsibility to keep him safe, maybe I should look into alternative schooling for him. During my six years working with this school I have NEVER been able to talk to the principal or district supervisor. They don't talk with parents. The principal has NEVER attended an IEP meeting or any other meeting for that matter. I now refer to any special needs student as the throw away crowd. I personally know of 5 students that have ended up dropping out of school because of lack of services and have been told at the end of their 11th grade year that there is no way they could graduate. One student is because he has taken Spanish 3 times and can't pass it. They won't let him test orally and the state does not require 2 years of a foreign language the school does. He could have a modified or state diploma but he has been told that's not possible, so the school would rather him drop out than give him a diploma. In my opinion Molalla is only interested in keeping student's that will become white collar workers and make the school's statistics look good. Any person looking at Molalla high school should look at why did three case managers out of four leave in 2006/2007 school year? Why did the special education director leave after only two years? Could it be that the administration refuses to allocate any money to the special education budget. Why is it that a autistic child is listed as other health impaired to receive services because it's a money game other health impaired money goes into the general fund and student's listed as autistic those extra federal dollars have to be spent on that child personally.

Since meeting a group of students who came to the volleyball tournament in our new gym, I just have been wanting to give thanks for the people of communities from all over this local area. I heard our schools used to have a partnership through a basketball team and I'm concerned because there is no other team like that anymore and wonder why? Why aren't our communities collaborating more? What can we do to inspire each other more? I'm just a student at Colton Elementary but I look forwards often to middleschool and highschool when there may be more student collaborations and expressive attitudes that co-exist together in sharing our land, our Earth together. We need more fresh food drives, we need more technological assistance, we need more equality, not rivalries bent on dominating one another, but music and harmony, bridging worlds as though art and culture just uplifted our communities naturally. The fact that Molton used to travel together is proof that a revival of our communities is possible. I'm so hoping that my family will help me bring a Colton attutude of hospitality that welcomes Molalla's spirit of the Native Americans into our home someday. We've been talking alot about tree planting. Maybe fruit trees can help us create a reason to celebrate our abilities to share the experiences that we hope will alleviate our fears about each other and further our quest to live in equality. What do we have to lose, our animosity?

With love for those who have passed on before us and for all who exist as one,
