Okay is it just me over reacting with Nates school these days or do I need to just open a can of whoop azz on everyone….. Our phone has been out for 2 days because some of the wires are messed out the phone company wont be out till Monday if that is not bad enough today Nate sprained his ankle at school playing dodge ball they tried to call and couldn’t get through…. Did they bother to call anyone else on his contact sheet NO THEY DID NOT…..then he misses his bus….. I do not know the policy (I will find out tomorrow) on leaving a kids behind but when I rode the bus for head start we always went back for missed students… they tried to call and again couldn’t get through did they call anyone on his contact sheet then? NO THEY DID NOT! What did they do instead? They put my kid in someone’s car whom I do not know and when I asked Nate he didn’t know who they where either…. He didn’t know if it was a teacher a parent some strange person driving by…… I was in the shower when he walked in…. and he came in and told me some woman gave him a ride home because he missed the bus I was livid….. I can not believe this action they have ds’s work number he’s working a mile down the road he could have been there in 5 minutes they have my best friends number they never called her grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr im so irritated

I have had to deal with a school system that sounds very similar to yours. I have fought for a lot of years, so I'll give you some of what I found worked so well.
First, go down to the school and let them know, in a calm manner, that you have filled out a contact sheet, you expect that they use that contact sheet and never again put your child in some strangers car.
Then, and this is what will solidify their actions from now on, is call the school board and the school superintendent.

I am one of the only people allowed to take my best friend's six year old from school or other places, and even then I dot my i's and cross my t's and confirm things so no one goes into a mad flap over the whereabouts of this little girl.
The school is definetly at fault here and a better sysytem needs to be in place so stuff like this does not happen again. At the very LEAST, do not release the child to anyone and be more persistent in getting ahold of a contact person. Morons!
