I hope you don't have to cross the administration. They will offer you a lack of accountability and vindictiveness. The principal and staff will not fight for your child and getting help with their special needs. All you will get is double speak and no help if they don't agree with you. They will make the whole ordeal difficult enough where you will be forced to bring in help.

Where did they get the ratio of 1:12 Has anyone walked through the halls and looked in the classrooms? Class sizes have increased. If class ratio was 1:12, teachers would be a lot happy working at this school.

Briarcliff is a great school! Teachers are highly qualified. Unfortunately, administration changed this year and changed the environment of the school. The warm, friendly atmosphere that was, is now gone under the new administration. I hope this change doesn't have a negative effect on the staff and students of Briarcliff.
