[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you haven’t agreed on new goals and new IEP then it is “stay put”. The services, minutes, and goals have to stay the same until new ones are agreed on. You say your kid is still getting minutes but until there is an agreement on the new IEP the teacher can’t unilaterally choose new goals.

That’s just not how this works.  I don’t understand why people act like you can l just say “I declare stay put” and tada. It happens.   You have to file a due process complaint. [/quote]

OP says she is fighting with the school. If new goals haven't been agreed to at a meeting and the school thinks the child has met all the old ones, what are they supposed to be working on? They can't unilaterally make new goals. It sounds like they are telling OP that they are giving the service minutes, just treading water with what they're working on. Declaring that the child has been "without services" is not what the teacher said. It's also a "conference" that she said was unnecessary, not an IEP meeting--I'm not surprised that the teacher, who has probably been pulled away from other students for hours already trying to resolve this one IEP, is not enthusiastic about having yet another conference to rehash the same information and arguments, in a forum where nothing formal can be settled upon anyway.

OP, if you don't have an advocate, I might get one if for no other reason than it sounds like the relationship is breaking down and the school staff are just as fed up with you as you are with them. For the teacher to communicate that way, they sound at the end of their rope with this situation. A third party might be able to detach things a little. [/quote]
