[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for these suggestions and resources.

We did ask for the full evaluation but basically were told the same thing. His teacher does agree with us that it’s likely too early for him to end services, but the rest of the IEP  team seems to be adamant that his ability to do well in class is enough of a basis to deem him ineligible. My concern is pk4 is mostly play-based and he could struggle with more rigorous curriculum in kindergarten and 1st grade.

Did you make the request in writing?

Not yet. We didn’t have the official follow up meeting. But psychologist verbally stated that based on her evaluation he’s no longer eligible.

That would be pre-determination. The psychologist can tell you that based on her evaluation, your child does not meet eligibility criteria. But that final decision about eligibility has to be discussed as a team. And you do not have to agree with it and request an independent evaluation. Until you sign the IEP, the current services and IEP stay put.[/quote]

That isn’t true in DC.  Signatures indicate attendance not agreement. They will find your child ineligible and issue a PWN.   You then can file a due process complaint which will start your “stay put” rights. [/quote]
