[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that OSSE can deny private placement after DCPS approves it is ridiculous.
The fact that OSSE can not place children who can not be served within DCPS and these children need to wait is further denials of FAPE.

Where is the Attorney General making sure that DC is following federal law?  [/quote]

What is osse supposed to do if the student gets denied from the schools they applied to?  They just keep sending the file out.  There isn’t anything else they can do. They can’t force a school to take kids over their student programming limit.  People think nonpublic placement is so easy and it’s a snap.  It’s not [/quote]

I forgot to add. OSSE can say no and it doesn’t matter. If the iep team agrees to nonpublic then they can overrule osse.  Osse is just pretend gatekeeping.  But if there are no available seats in a nonpublic school there are no seats and they have to keep looking.  These schools are tiny. [/quote]

This is what happened to us. The OSSE rep had opinions and was told to basically pound sand. OSSE isn't as much a concern as actually getting into a school. And OSSE has very limited power there. If parents have their hearts set on a particular school, they need to do the lobbying. [/quote]
