[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is in kindergarten and has an IEP.

Our IEP meeting is tomorrow and I have asked them repeatedly to send the draft and/or any data they are relying on in preparing the IEP.

They don’t respond, or say yes we will send it soon but then they never do.

Then they are lying to my face. I have been pushing for a BIP since the first week of August. I sent two FBAs we have done privately as well as a neuropsych assessment and developmental pediatrician assessment. The school said that none of them was “relevant to what they were seeing in the classroom” and that they had to perform their own assessment with the “District Behavior Team.”

I asked for an update and they said they were waiting for us to provide the updated private FBA and haven’t started anything on their end.

I forwarded them the emails where they said they wouldn’t accept the private FBAs and also the emails where they said they were starting the FBA/data collection back in AUGUST and again in SEPTEMBER. They won’t acknowledge their lie/mistake.

They are now planning to start the 60 day data gathering process.

I am just so frustrated with them. How do I go into this meeting where they are perfectly content to lie to my face and just drag their feet on everything?

[b]They are REQUIRED to consider assessments you provide, they can't just disregard or refuse to accept them. If you end up leaving public school, file an IDEA complaint with the state anyway as this is a basic violation.[/b] You want to learn the regs regardless, and for the most part they are not that hard to understand. I can guarantee almost 100% nobody who is on the IEP team has ever read them. What happens is districts develop policies to more or less align with the law but when it comes to an individual child they cannot substitute "this is how we do things" for what IDEA requires they consider.

Well, kind of. They can't just straight up say "no, we're not looking at those", but they definitely do not have to (and often will not) use those assessments to make eligibility, intervention, and placement decisions. [/quote]
