[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is in a second-grade class of 27 students, and at least 9 have IEPs. The current mix of needs seems to be creating significant challenges in the classroom. My child frequently complains about the noise level and disruptive behaviors, and she’s having trouble concentrating. She’s also started showing signs of anxiety related to school.

I’m aware of the number of students receiving services because my daughter is 1 of 4  students with dyslexia who receive OG tutoring together (parents have confirmed this), and there are 5 students with autism who attend social-emotional classes together (4 parents have shared their diagnoses directly with me).

I fully support inclusion, but it doesn’t feel like this setup is serving any of the students well without additional support. The classroom teacher is clearly stretched thin. I also spoke with the principal, who said there isn’t funding for an aide. The special education teacher is shared with another grade, so they’re only in the classroom about 50% of the time.

Does anyone know what the FCPS guidelines are for elementary classrooms regarding class size and the number or percentage of students with IEPs in a single classroom?[/quote]
