[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have the legal right to request a teacher meeting. They have 30 days to comply so realistically you could meet one time per month if your schedule is flexible. [/quote]

I’ve never heard this and hope this isn’t true.  I can’t imagine how teachers who get any work done if they spend planning periods meeting with each parent.  [/quote]

This is true but for IEP meetings. They often don’t like to share this fact because there would be so many meetings.

Generally the schools I have worked in always required a response to emails within 48 hours. If you need a meeting I can’t imagine a teacher turning you down, though they might suggest a phone call or video call. [/quote]

So if a kid has an IEP the teacher is required to meet with a parent monthly if they request it?

I suppose they could argue an IEP meeting doesn’t have to include a teacher. Or that the teacher is unavailable. And it doesn’t say that the team has to provide anything during these meetings. But you can request one and they would have to comply.
