[quote=Anonymous]You don't have to agree to or sign anything at the meeting. It's not a vote, it is by consensus, but usually the entire school staff agrees with each other, and hopefully you will agree too. If you don't agree with the school, these are your options (and you can pick more than one) 1) Request an outside evaluator at school expense. 2) Get an outside evaluator at your own expense. (expensive, but may be worth it to avoid a fight over making the school pay) 3) Hire an advocate to help you work with the school. 4) Request a mediator from the central office. 5) File state complaint (letter to State Department of Education, you don't need a lawyer) 6) Request a due process hearing (goes to an administrative law judge, you need a lawyer). If you and the school agree that your child needs an IEP, the school writes the IEP and then you schedule another meeting to discuss the IEP and ask for changes. [/quote]
