[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent with a child with a 504 here.   Basis said they would not support child's accommodations in high school.

I am not the only one - but I do not have the time to fight it.   I moved my child as opposed to fighting them that they needed to support accommodations.

Do not believe the story that they are supportive of children with IEPs and 504s.   BASIS is supportive of children and families that fit in the BASIS mold.   They will support children if they want to.[/quote]

NP.

That sounds frustrating, although no school is required to support or continue accommodations indefinitely, particularly if they can show evidence that they are no longer needed (NOT saying this is what happened in your case). And legally parents aren't required to be included in the 504 process the way they are with IEPs, although it is a good idea to do so.

Our kid, at another DC school (not BASIS), had a 504 in MS. But mid-year of 8th grade, DC refused to use his accommodations and with no difference in grades. The new school would not agree to a 504, even though we wanted one in case HS work became too much.

Hope your child is doing well wherever they ended up.
