[quote=Anonymous]My son has an IEP in DCPS elementary school.  They are consistently violating his IEP and this is, predictably, resulting in the exact reactions that are used as justifications for the things they're supposed to do per the IEP.  In other words, they are setting him up to fail.  His failures are treated solely as behavioral issues by most of the people in the school.  I have been trying to work within the system, but it's just getting worse and worse the last couple of months.  They have almost no sped staff to speak of, so there's really no one to insure that his IEP is being followed.  The simplest little tiny things are simply not being done.  Finally on Friday I had had enough and I told them that I would not return him to school until they showed me they could follow his IEP.  I was assuming, honestly, that I would not return him this year and he is going to a new school next year.  Today I went to his classroom to get some of his work and to take a picture of his desk (that STILL has no visual organizer on it -- I mean how hard is that?).  I couldn't find his desk.  One of the kids said, "it's in the hall."  I remembered the aide telling me that he was putting his desk in the hall, but honestly I was so awash with other worries I didn't really digest the information.  Upon talking to my son I realized that it had occured on Thursday and that they had seated him there for at least some time before I removed him from school on Friday.  His name is on the desk for all to see.  I am very active in the PTA at the school and everyone knows who I am and who he is.  My question is, is this an appropriate action for a child under an IEP, especially since they are violating his IEP every single day?  Also, did they really need to leave it out there all week for all to see, even though he's not coming to school.  The meeting is Friday and I told them I would not send him until we had a meeting.  I took pictures of the desk. [/quote]
