Not offended at all.  Just pointing out that to other readers that you meant to homeschool requires a High School Diploma or equivalent and that I have a bit more than that especially given my son's special needs. That's all! No worries.

I know this is extremely stressful for you. My suggestion was to help relieve some of the stress. 

What I meant was a way for you to avoid the issue about not sending your child to school, truancy, while you are trying to get the legal issues resolved and finding the right school for your child's needs. I meant absolutely nothing more than that.

I was only conveying all that was required is a High School Diploma, not that you did not have more education.

I hope someone can help you with the legal issues soon.

Good luck.

Anyone from CA want to chime in please?
I believe that Anita meant that it is a High School diploma to be qualified as a parent to Homeschool. And she is correct in that aspect but not when you are dealing with a special needs child. There is more involved and I am going to the district office on Wednesday to explore my options. 
The good news is that I have two autistics and also Early Childhood Education and my AA in Psychology. So I have some higher education and am not in the dark totally. I was two semesters from getting my BA when we had my youngest and I will go back to complete but in the mean time I need someone who knows CA law that can answer the following question.
If I do not put my autistic son on the bus on Tuesday for the first day of school, given the school and I are in a "Due Process" status will or can I be brought up on truancy charges come the first, second, or third on forward days should this "Due Process" drag out? The CA State Office of Administrative Hearings two staff that I have spoken to indicate that so long as I fax a Letter of Intent include why I am not putting him on the bus, what steps I am taking to increase his ABA therapy, and social interactions, along with exploring the temporary Homeschooling that I should be covered.
However, I have received an email from the district worded otherwise and indicating that he must be attending the school I dispute is neither safe for my son's ASD level but also does not meet his educational goals and settings.
Anyone from CA want to chime in please?
