[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in a non public placement.  I went into CIEP already knowing the outcome.  Whole meeting lasted 15 min.  No lawyer, no advocate, no adversity.  Every parent I’ve met at school has had a similar experience.

For as easy as they made it for my kid, I wonder if his needs are so significant that they significantly eclipse other kids or if parents of kids who are fighting for IEPs don’t have a realistic concept of FAPE and want “the best”

My kid was part of Covid virtual like everyone else.  He didn’t do great during virtual, but he also didn’t fall off a cliff.  Some of his goals were not able to be implemented but I worked with him where the school couldn’t.  We’ve been offered compensatory services and while I think it’s lovely of them, I don’t think it’s necessary.  The pandemic impacted everyone and somethings just had to be put on hold.  School has offered us an option to repeat this year if I feel it’s necessary.

You have private placement. Is it at public expense or are you paying for the private placement?[/quote]

Public expense.  I’m not sure having a voucher would make a difference to me.  I could not afford my kids school even if I had $10k off but had to pay the rest.[/quote]

So your child is in private at public expense. The 11.9% of MCPS students still stuck in under staffed MCPS schools that are not implementing IEPs would like similar options to go to a school where our children’s needs can be met.

What would you do if MCPS pull the plug on the private placement?[/quote]
