[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been running into enormous frustration due to non-compliance. As newcomers to DC we are somewhat shocked because services were far superior in our prior public school in NY. Is this school specific or just how the District of Columbia handles matters? [/quote]

I'm a teacher but not at Lafayette (I'm at a far less resourced school). We are in utter non-compliance and I keep getting told different things. They basically didn't hire enough staff to service all the hours so they are just not. Most of my IEPs are not being followed. Please get an advocate and a lawyer. Stay on top of things and demand what your child is legally entitled to![/quote]

Does DC hire part time special education teachers? We just moved here and I have an out of state license but I'm not ready to jump in full time. [/quote]

Almost certainly. There is a severe shortage of good teachers. Mid year hires are next to impossible to find. [/quote]

Thank you. I come from a school with a principal with high expectations so I am ready to work hard. I just don't think I'm ready for full time after a cross country move. I'll try to figure out how to apply and everything.[/quote]
