[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you PP! We're new to the process but have been told by others with more experience that we have very strong grounds for filing a state complaint. The problem is that we're worried about retribution by the school team.

Does anyone have any advice about this?[/quote]

What would your grounds be for filing a state complaint?  I'm sincerely not being snarky, but would you feel comfortable with these professionals working with your child if you're feeling so strongly about having a case against them?

Personally, in my experience, we've had a lot more success working with the team.  I understand this isn't always the case for others.  However, we found that we didn't always agree with the team, but we worked together and it's always worked out in the best interest of our child.  In fact, there have been issues where we've ultimately changed our position based on feedback from the school.  I have friends who have been more aggressive and have ultimately gotten what they "want", but the team has been a bit more rigid after that...providing the minimum to meet all expectations.  We've preferred a more civil approach.
