Parent of Special Needs Student Clashes With School

ATLANTA -- A flurry of e-mails, phone calls and surprise visits to check on her child’s progress at school got a special needs parent banned from Mason Elementary in Gwinnett County, Ga.
Cynthia Branch of Lawrenceville, like many other metro Atlanta parents of special needs students, had back-to-school anxiety over how her kid would adjust to a new teacher unfamiliar with his disabilities or educational plan. But her methods for keeping track of her son's progress ran afoul of school administrators.
Gwinnett Schools police issued a criminal trespass notice warning Branch not to set foot inside Mason Elementary without the principal's permission.
