[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To clarify your point- that was For a very small number of students with very severe disabilities.[b] The bulk of FCPS families asking for reimbursement and services have children do not have children with those severe disabilities (e.g. ID, PSCB services)[/b]. Most FCPS families asking for reimbursement or services are indeed milking this to their own advantage- and no- other families across the country and in other counties did not sue and are not doing the same. Let alone complaining that their reimbursements are taking too long. SMH.[/quote]

Where's your proof for that statement? 6000 current and former students were deemed by their IEP teams to qualify for compensatory services. Only a small number of those 6000 are getting any kind of financial compensation whatsoever.

People in this thread have specified what FCPS has agreed to reimburse for. Which of those requests do you think is unreasonable? [/quote]

This makes me laugh out loud....FCPS wanted to put this huge burden on top of teachers shoulders and repeatedly refused to oversee or answer important questions in true FCPS style. It was a dumpster fire process. [/quote]

Agree. FCPS dumped this on schools, teachers, and IEP families with a crazy deadline and they all got the meetings done and came to agreements on what would be fair with very little guidance. Families guessed on what would be appropriate to request and teachers guessed on what would be approved. [/quote]

And with all the extra time consuming meetings and paperwork guess who lost out on time with their teachers the kids. [/quote]

And how is that the families' fault? We were told to attend a meeting. No one sued FCPS. The federal govt investigated them. Not sure why some of you are so determined to villainize disabled dc and their families.[/quote]

Oh please....read and understand you all are complaining that kids lost time well IEP meeting after IEP meeting takes time away from kids. Sorry that you aren't getting it. Meanwhile there are a ton of people sitting at desks in central office. IT should NOT have been case managers in those meetings....It should have been overseen by SPED higher ups and lawyers. FCPS offered no support or guidance to teachers and now teams will have to meet again. It's ridiculous this should not have been put on case managers shoulders. Why are you so hell bent on villianizing SPED teachers? See how that also works. Very egocentric aren't you?[/quote]

You are rabidly attacking families. Families did what they were told to do by FCPS-attend a meeting and discuss compensatory services. Families didn't ask for FCPS to break the law OR to enter into a settlement admitting that they broke the law with Dept of Education. You should be angry with your employer, not the children you are supposed to be education. Families didn't ask for meetings.

Who is telling you to meet again to discuss services? That's not part of the process laid out in the settlement agreement. Have a meeting, agree on services or reimbursement, send receipts into Gatehouse. Your part was done in spring.  [/quote]

Teachers part went right up to summer-it was a lot and there was little oversight from FCPS central office. [b]Not everything is about you being a victim[/b]. Stick with what you know-your situation with your child.[/quote]

Lordy, lordy. Project much? You need to reconsider working with kids when you have such a warped view of reality and so much disgust for families of disabled kids.[/quote]
