[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:54  I respect that you, when you are on the team, act in the best interest of the child.  Unfortunately you cannot say the same for the rest of the folks.  Sometimes there is an "acting" principal who knows that MCPS won't be happy if she allows an IEP to go through.  Or maybe it's a principal who is worried about her school's test scores and wants a low functioning kid transferred OUT to another program.  or maybe the principal has already asked for extra staff for a child and been rebuffed, so he feels like he has to justify not providing supportive services.  So thank you for acting in the best interest of the child, but remember, you don't know the motivations of the rest of your colleagues.  You might be surprised.[/quote]

OP here.
We had that problem with our last principal and I was talked into dropping our previous IEP to a 504 and it took years to be able to the IEP reinstated.

I know that everyone at DC's school has been great and really working hard with him.  The Spec Ed coordinator, DS's therapist and I will all be there as well as myself and DH.  If DH can't go then a family friend, who knows my child well, will go with me.

My mother is a retired social worker and has been to many IEP meetings.  She seemed to agree with the thought that I hold off on an attorney for now and that I should get one if I don't feel we were not happy with the outcome or felt intimidated and forced into a decision.[/quote]
