In MCPS they usually won't consider a chance of placement if you have less than 15 hours.[/quote]

My DS gets 20 hrs a wk of Sp Ed support in a general education inclusive classroom plus 8 hrs a month of pull out services for speech, OT and behavioral support/ social skills.  The 20 hrs of Sp Ed support basically means that there is a Sp Ed teacher in the classroom who helps as needed (for everyone not just the kids with IEPs).

DS does not have academic or behavioral issues and does not need placement in a more specialized setting but gets level 4 support.  DS has ASD/ADHD and is in 3rd grade at an immersion language charter.[/quote]

Looks like we are level 3 not 4.  I looked at the equity report in learndc.org.  Looks like 25% of the kids with IEPs at our school get level 3 support, which I suspect pays for the Sp Ed teacher in the classroom.  She is great btw.[/quote]

Are you at a charter? I wonder if charter schools have an additional incentive to classify kids up a level in order to get more funding. It seems to have worked in your case -- your class gets an extra teacher paid by OSSE.[/quote]

We are at a charter and I doubt the school is classifying kids up just to get more funding.  I know all the kids with IEPs in these particular classrooms and they need the support and we are grateful to have it.   Our class has always had a Sp Ed teacher assigned since K and that is bc there are enough kids in it whose IEPs require this level of support.[/quote]
