In my experience, every CSS program is different so you should talk to your IEP team. Why are you considering CSS instead of services at your neighborhood school?

Your IEP team is not going to give you anything other than the party line.

A child without behavioral problems should not be in CSS

OP here: Part of the IEP team IS suggesting but I cannot see why that is even part of the discussion. I came here to make sure I was understanding my research of the CSS sites correctly, which seems like I am - that they are sites for behavioral issues more than other issues. Since my student does not have behavioral issues, I am concerned about the why behind the suggestion from FCPS. Seems more like a dumping ground so they don't have to pay for a private placement once the zoned school cannot meet the student's needs.

It’s not a dumping ground. It’s an effort to get kids support in a public school setting.
