So FRUSTRATED!

So, school starts in 10 days....I should be excited and I WOULD be if I knew my boys were indeed going to school. Yes, you read that right! We live in a "one school" district where that one school REALLY sucks. I choose to do interdistrict transfers for my boys in order to take them to the "good" schools in the next city. Really, we're only 1 mile outside their boundary anyhow. Well, every summer it's the same ole thing. I work on my ulcer while they decide if there's room for my boys to attend. The thing that really chaps my hide this year is the fact that last year, I went through such a hassle that the director of pupil services assured me that he would make sure I was marked a "Ptown" resident so I didn't have to go through this again! Well, I guess that doesn't mean crap when his schools are impacted again! The kids' principal from the last two years is wonderful....he's been really pushing to get the boys back in because he sees that they are indeed making progress. I have to say, after two years, the boys FINALLY have a sense of school pride! They FINALLY aren't saying how much they HATE their school! These are my two children with "issues" also....ones of the bipolarish nature. SO, not getting into the SAME school will just be a nightmare! I got letters stating that clearly from their psychologist, psychaitrist and pediatrician. You would think that would make a difference? It doesn't look like it! Now, since the area is so expensive and younger families can't afford housing, it looks like there are more older kids than ever and my middle schooler may not get in either! GREAT! I am just so fricken mad about this whole thing! If the school in our town could get their shit together, life would be soooo easy! UGH!
