Friends son threatened with expulsion. When she tried to get a referral for alt school, the principal refused.

My friends son has adhd and outbursts and behavioral problems at his new (23-24 school year) school. He served in school suspension today.

The principal has threatened to "kick him (the kid) out" on several occasions. I sent her a link to a local alternative school a few weeks ago. She contacted the alt school today and they told her they need a referral from his current school's principal. The current school's principal told her they wouldn't do the referral because "it costs the district money."

What the hell? She has contacted the superintendent but I'm wondering if there is anything else that can be done. Frankly, she's disgusted and so am I. She's trying to help her son and they've threatened him with expulsion anyway so when she attempts to get him help and out of the current schools hair she's told no???? Because of money??? That can't be right!

Any help would be appreciated
