I GIVE RAY 5 Stars!
Aurora Naper contracted out by Dist 58 &…read moreconsistently sending inadequate transport RE School for Special Needs child. More polluted vehicles being sent when IEP includes not being around irritants. Dist is not complying adequately & it IS possible to do. 03/14/19 Thurs., Special Needs child brought home on a notoriously polluted vehicle that was previously requested NOT to transport child. Now Aurora Naper this a.m. suddenly has a child in the vehicle LADENED with cologne. This is abuse/bullying using another, I will update as needed. 03/18/19 same transport vehicle with cologne came in a.m. combined w/some other chemical in it & after child sat in vehicle started to experience frontal head pain crying for Mom to help him. Male driver stated he did not smell anything in prior vehicle that I requested NOT pick up child so his sense of smell must be deadened. IS THIS RIGHT? When will Dist. 58 & Aurora Naper accommodate consistently? Another Doctors letter submitted. Same guy as yesterday came this a.m. to pick child up with stronger chemical odor today. All I said was he is not going, you have stuff in the van. This has all been relayed to Aurora Naper per Jessica/Dist. 58 but appears to be getting worse instead of better & is the responsibility of Dist. 58 to provide adequate accommodating transport. 03/20/19 same driver came with what seemed to be a non-polluted vehicle. Just wait for return home...just sayin'. Home okay & 03/21/19 a.m. pick up okay so far drop off okay; 03/22/19 a.m. seemed less toxic, but it should not have taken my contacting Dist. Board Members over this yet NO Board Member contacted me. Just when I thought it was okay, 04/01/19 Monday: Myself & child went down approx. 7:20 a.m. to wait for Aurora Naper, I threw out garbage & noticed no one was here for pick up. My child saw no one either (even from unit windows). After a while of waiting, we went back up. I sent a message at 8:01 a.m. about this to Jessica Dist. 58 & Andy SASED. Eventually Jessica responded with "The cab company has indicated that they were at your location at 7:22 a.m. this morning. They indicated that they saw you taking out the garbage and that they thought you saw them. They waited the 10 minutes they should prior to leaving. I'm not sure what the confusion was but we'll plan for the same time tomorrow." THEY were NO where near the entry/exit door to building so they appeared to be concealed & not where they actually should have been as their "location" was NOT visible to myself or child, we saw no one so if they are not where they should have been, they wait 10 minutes & leave, that is on them & anyone involved with the transgressions. I have requested assistance from Dist. 58 Board Members. This appears to be what is occurring due to my advocacy for my Sp. Ed. child. 04/02/19 driver for this a.m. claimed to have been at building 04/01/19, he joked about it.

Hello,
Aurora Naper said that they waited outside for 15 minutes for you and Child to arrive and attempted to reach you via your cell number but no one picked up. When they did not hear from you and no one came out of the library, they left. They are sending their nearest driver to you now however he is coming from Joliet. They have indicated it will likely be 20-25 minutes.

Maybe you can explain where they were as we were at the doors where we were dropped off. AGAIN, we were there at 6:25 p.m. waited until 6:55 p.m. ish then went to use computer.
NO ONE was here AND NO ONE called my number either or it would be on the phone as an incoming missed call.

Hello,
I would encourage you to speak directly to the driver for this information and to learn more so that everyone is on the same page for Tuesday's tutoring session.
-----------------------------------------
It is so nice that Jessica S, assistant superintendent for special services, who is supposed to make sure ALL is scheduled correctly encourages me to learn more, etc., when this is her job due to tutoring.
-----------------------------------------
It is so nice that Aurora Naper Transport DID NOT come into Library either as per my conversation with Driver, it did not specify to pick up on the parking lot side, yet I advised him that we were dropped off on that side.
