[quote=Anonymous]Also, great, he's succeeding....has it occurred to the school that that's precisely what a GOOD IEP should look like - a kid succeeding?  And that a kid succeeding is not a sign that we can pull the IEP, but that the IEP is working?

As others have said, they have to have serious documentation, including a full reevaluation, to exit him from special ed.  It sounds like maybe he can't even be reevaluated yet (has it been a year since the last set)?  This is particularly true when he's got the whole menu of related services - they need evaluations in each of those areas demonstrating he no longer needs that support.

Also, unless you've moved LEA's the school isn't well within their rights to reassess his eligibility-  I mean, sure, a school system can say they want to do that whenever, but if you just moved from DCPS to DCPS, the eligibility decision from last year remains. And even if you moved LEAs they have to have support for finding him ineligible now - and that means new and updated evaluations, which again, it sounds like they can't even validly do right now.
