Legal @ CoolineKids

Due to legal compliance and financial restrictions, there are specific situations where CoolineKids is unable to serve a student through our summer program. If we determine we are unable to support a student, we will work with you to find another alternative that might better match your child’s needs. 

• Persistent Unsafe Or Extreme Dangerous Behavior:

If a camper engages in extremely unsafe, harmful, or dangerous behavior that persists despite three or more wellness interventions by our clinician, a support plan from our Executive Director, and one on one support, dismissal will be enforced. The only scenarios where an immediate dismissal is necessary to include situations where there is a concern for the life of the child or others within our space or serious violations of organization policy or State law (such as sexual assault, illicit drug usage, or distribution).

• Failure to Submit Required Documentation:

If a family fails to submit the required special education or school support/intervention documentation before the start of the camp, the student will be unenrolled on the first day. This is because our Behavioral Health Clinician and the Executive Director need adequate time to create a support plan for the child.

• Failure to Comply with Community-Wide Behavior Expectations:

If a family member or guardian violates our community-wide behavior expectations or acts in violation of State law, the student may be removed from the program. This is done to ensure the well-being of other students, our staff, and the general community.

• Unmanageable Medical or Special Needs:

We cannot accommodate special needs that require nurses or other medical professionals, complex health needs, or any needs that necessitate a staff member entering a restroom space to assist a child. Unfortunately, our staff is not trained or qualified to provide support in these realms, and families will need to arrange for a personal one-on-one aide or nurse. We regret that we are unable to provide this assistance at this time.
