I was contacted recently by a frustrated applicant to one of the state’s technical high schools and her parents. The student was denied admission despite solid academic performance in mainstream programs for reason that the school admissions staff did not think the school could accommodate her.
How may we assist or may we seek help for her through this action?
Thank you.
