The case in summary: Leon Stensvold is 16 years old, developmentally disabled and attends Dokka secondary school, which is to be closed. The nearest school offer for Leon is Gj\u00f8vik secondary school, 43 kilometers away, which is problematic since Leon often has seizures when he drives a car over long distances according to his mother. Anita Stensvold Haugerud, has complained to the county council because she believes that her son does not get a real offer to go to school due to his health condition. The county council is in full swing planning offers for the coming school year and says they will do what they can to ensure that everyone gets their legal right to further education. The summary is made by an AI service from OpenAI. The content is quality assured by news’s \u200b\u200bjournalists before publication. – Leon’s weekday will consist of having epileptic seizures in a taxi. The county municipality must adhere to laws and regulations even if they make changes. What is happening now is not dignified and it is punishable, says Stensvold Haugerud. She takes a good hold of her son Leon. He is 16 years old, developmentally disabled and started this autumn at Dokka secondary school. At the school, he has adapted training with six other pupils and within a ten-minute radius are both his family and the drop-off home. – We spent a year getting Leon, and those who were to receive him, to start secondary school. Now he is in an environment where the employees know him and it is very well organised, says Stensvold Haugerud. – Want to go for health care On 23 October, the politicians in Innlandet County Municipality decided to close six secondary schools from next autumn; Dokka, Skarnes, Flisa, Lom, S\u00f8nsterud, and Domb\u00e5s. According to the mother, Leon gets tired quickly and he will not be able to make the trip back to Gj\u00f8vik from Dokka every day to go to school.

For Leon, this means that the nearest school offer is Gj\u00f8vik secondary school, 43 kilometers away. – The reality for us is that Leon does not get any school offers. The offer for him will probably be good in Gj\u00f8vik, but it doesn’t help that the door is open as long as we don’t get there, says the mother. She says that the reason for that is that the son often has seizures when he drives a car over long distances. – Leon gets tired quickly and is sensitive. With daily trips to Gj\u00f8vik in a taxi, he is extra exposed to seizures, and his health will be ruined. What happens if he has a seizure on the way to Gj\u00f8vik? It could be disastrous. Here at Dokka, we have a short distance to the unloading house. The transport will also be particularly expensive, says the 36-year-old. Leon is at school every day as long as his form dictates it. When news visited Dokka, the day had started with an epileptic fit and therefore there was a trip to mum’s shop instead of after a nap. Photo: Knut R\u00f8srud \/ news That is why she has filed a complaint. She believes that with the decision made by the county council, her son will not get a real offer to go to school because of his health condition. – He has the same rights as others to go to secondary school. It will not be a fulfilling life for Leon after Dokka is shut down because he is prevented from his rights. That is why I have reported to the county council, says Anita. Anita tells about a weekday with short distances that works well today. – This will be demolished if Dokka is shut down. Photo: Knut R\u00f8srud \/ news Now she has decided to take up the fight for Leon and other vulnerable pupils who are affected by the school decision. – This does not only apply to Leon. In the case basis for the decision, there are so many violations of the law no matter which way you turn. The politicians have run us over and I only wish they had understood our situation better. The way they have behaved is not right, says Stensvold Haugerud. Mora says that the son thrives at school and that there is a good system around him. Photo: Knut R\u00f8srud \/ news Police attorney Hildegunn Tronsli from the Innlandet police district confirms to news Innlandet that they have received the report. – Beyond that, we have no comment for the time being, says Tronsli. – Expect the police to contact news Innlandet has been in contact with county mayor Thomas Breen, but he refers to county director Tron Bamrud. – I have not seen this review beyond what news has told me. I expect that the police will look into the case and possibly make contact for comments, says Bamrud. The county council director, Tron Bamrud, says that they will work as hard as they can to find satisfactory solutions for all the pupils. Photo: Knut Erik R\u00f8srud \/ news He says that the county council has good experience in making arrangements for individuals with special needs. – We must do what we can to ensure that everyone gets their legal right to further education. We must be able to find satisfactory solutions for everyone, even if it may not be exactly what the individual wants, says Bamrud. Now he and the county council are busy planning offers for the coming school year. – Then we look at the application pattern throughout the spring and do what we can to make the best possible arrangements for those who apply to the schools, says Bamrud. – Will be hit hard Regional office manager of Norway’s Handikapforbund Inlandet, J\u00f8rgen Wien, says that there is great variation in how the individual student with special needs reacts to a change in environment. – It is very individual and there are big differences. But in such a school decision, it is particularly pupils with disabilities who are hit hard, says Wien. He justifies this by the fact that many in that group, for various reasons, do not have the opportunity to move to a dormitory. In addition, changing municipalities and having a new assessment of the need for various services will create a lot of unnecessary stress. – It is generally very unpredictable and it will probably lead to even more people with disabilities not completing secondary school. For some it is particularly challenging to change environment, says Wien. J\u00f8rgen Wien, regional office manager at NHF Innlandet. Photo: Private The variations also apply to transport. – Some can ride in an ordinary taxi, while others must have special transport and school transport can present major challenges. If the school transport were to work well, the length of the school road would be long for some anyway. For some, this decision will make it impossible to continue at school, says Wien.
