[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I re-read your post and I have been there.
As I understand it:
Your child currently has an IEP
The school triggered a re-evaluation and did testing earlier this year.
You just got the report AND the school is trying to schedule a meeting to go over the re-evaluation - with the potential of determining that your child no longer qualifies for an IEP.
You belief that your child still needs the services to access the curriculum.

If I was in your shoes, I would:
Not highlight the issues with the report.  I would wait until the meeting to ask questions about the report.  Say things like - I see the report here says X - can you please tell me more....This is not my experience and this is the 1st time I am hearing about this. Do this for every error you see in the report. You want to slow roll this in order to buy yourself some time. 
In the meeting the person will say that they made an error and will be getting a new report.  When they say this, recommend that they meeting is put on hold until a new report is developed because they will want to push forward without the report. Hold your ground and say - I do not understand how we can move forward without having an accurate report. Isn't the report a key input for the meeting?  
You need to have the report AT LEAST 5 days before the meeting.  Do not allow the school to bully you into having a meeting before that time.  Say - I am sorry, I need time to review this.  It is overwhelming and it takes me time to digest. I was looking at the procedural guidelines issued from OSSE and it says that a materials need to be sent at least 5 days before a meeting.  I understand that you want to wrap this up with the end of the school year but I think that this is important that I understand the report in order to be a part of the IEP team and come to the meeting in a way that I can meaningfully participate.

Good luck with this. [/quote]

Yes my child is at a dc charter.

They have an IEP with a lot of supports.

In the areas where they get support, they’re going much better. In the areas where they don’t get support- they’re not doing well.

I am okay reducing some supports, with heavy pressure from the teacher. But I’m not okay getting rid of IEp and all support.

I suspect the school has completely stopped providing support.

The report that they made was given to me 5 days before the meeting is scheduled. The report has a zillion issues, but what really springs out to me are the incorrect factual information. Like really obvious stuff like dob and name. Also it appears about halfway through to refer to another kid, even naming them.

I’m tired of fighting the school, and I think they were disgusting to hold on to this report for months, while they unilaterally stopped services. They also lied and attempted to say we got it a month ago, which FALSE.

I am willing to hire an attorney and make sure that the new director (who weirdly I know) is aware of their shady and unprofessional behavior (I actually quickly identified the other child from the report). But at the end of the day I just want what is best for my child.

This was their triennial report.  Another thing that has happened is that my child is without a full time teacher since this report was issued (yes dc charter is going up in flames)- so I’ve been tutoring her like crazy after school and hired two tutors.  They are being tutored around the clock, which is terrible considering the long schooldays.

So basically I just want them to have some pullouts and an IEP, especially since middle school is coming up next year.

Any chance I can get them evaluated with my own dr as well?[/quote]
