[quote=Anonymous]Each time you meet, you can ask the surprise attendees, "Ms. XXX, I'm surprised to see you here.  I wasn't informed that you would attend.  Can you tell me why your presence is necessary at this meeting?"  Also ask, "Do you regularly attend all teacher/parent meetings, or just those for 504 or IEP students?"

If there's no reasonable explanation and it's more than an isolated incident, write a letter afterwards complaining to the principal that this is an intimidation tactic to keep you from working collaboratively with the teacher about your student's needs.  It's also discriminatory in the sense that it places unreasonable increased burdens on the parents of kids with IEPs or 504s.  It could also be perceived as retaliatory if you have made complaints before.

Copy the special education supervisor or the 504 supervisor in the central administration.  They hate to receive complaints that lay a paper trail for retaliation or systematic discouragement of parent participation. [/quote]
