[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Local screening for accommodations which I never even asked for.  They have been trying to prevent me from asking about any accommodations all year.

And as I start to get close to asking, the principal said I asked two weeks ago and the rule is within 10 business days in fairfax county so we have to meet in early February which is outside of that 10 days.

I’m so confused.[/quote]

I am confused - do you want accommodations or not?  If you want them are you asking for a 504 plan or an IEP?  The former provides accommodations only.  The latter provides accommodations and special instruction?

What is your DC's disability (or what are the school's concerns that they want to provide accommodations?)

How are they preventing you from asking about accommodations? 
[/quote]they haven’t prevented me from asking for anything.  But they are resistant to providing anything that can be used as evidence to support my child’s need for accommodations [/quote]

How old is your child?

What have you asked for and how has school resisted providing.

In general, you have a legal right under FERPA to see and copy all educational records pertaining to your child.  That is basically anything with your Larlo’s name in it - tests, quizzes, classwork of any kind, state yearly assessments (not just score but entire test and answers), any diagnoayic assessments hiven by teacher as year progessed ( not sure what FCPs pdoes - DIBBELS, MAP, reading benchmarks, etc).

If you make a request in writing for educational records referencing FERPA, the school must provide access.  For highly secure state-wide exams or unit exams, finals, etc., you may be asked to sign a non-disclosure form, but you cannot be denied access. [/quote]
I’ve gotten some classwork examples but it took two months of complaining.  They told me they wouldn’t release student records to any third parties I was requesting and I had to go to the superintendent before they were willing to do that.

They won’t wven allow any contact with the teacher without an administrator present.  And this has been going on since we got the first progress report.  [/quote]
