[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]We do know that the school sent the decline to enroll in February, which is too late to transfer elsewhere[/quote]

I am in full agreement that they should have let the family know of the decline earlier, so that they could apply to privates specializing in kids with disabilities, if private is what they wanted.  However, it is not accurate to say it was "too late to transfer elsewhere."  Public school, which the vast majority of children in the US attend, and is legally required to provide accommodations, is always an option.[/quote]

Oh come on. In order to get accommodations in public school districts, you need an IEP. And those take months and months, and usually by February are done for services for the following year. The PP was correctly summarizing the situation. [/quote]

100% nonsense. You clearly have no understanding of the law. Schools can't just say "Welp, we're done providing services this year." That's not at all how it works. [/quote]

You are wildly ignorant of reality. I’m not even sure where to start with this. It’s like you are reading some sort of school propaganda and ignorant of how the actual system works. [/quote]

My child has an IEP in a public school. Where in the world did you get the idea that there's a cutoff in the school year to get evaluated for an IEP? You can start the process at any time. The district needs to respond within 45 days by law. You cannot be denied an evaluation regardless of the time of year.[/quote]
