[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, so you all are really piling on here and OP, I hope you’re still reading. I personally know three families that never tried public, hired lawyers, and went from a SN private, full pay, to being placed at another SN private funded by the county. One was in DCPS, the other two in MCPS. They had a really good lawyer and great data and the help of the SN schools. [/quote]

Just pointing out here that because they went from one SN private to another SN private that was funded by the county, the staff at the first SN private likely indicated that the child was not succeeding at their school and needed more services than they could supply.

This is not the scenario the OP wants. They are going to full pay the school they want the child to stay at in hopes that DCPS will pick up the bill in the next few years. What does the data look like? That the child is succeeding at Ivymount? Can't DCPS use that to argue that if they child is successfuly at Ivymount, it's possible/likely to be successful at one of DCPS schools. Or that the child is unsuccessful at Ivymount in which case DCPS should argue that they need to transfer child to a different school. It's unlikely for the parent to get to stay at the exact school they want. What is likely is that they'll be full pay, pay for the advocate (and lawyer,) and then end up deciding to be full pay for subsequent years. [/quote]

Then OP should push her advocate on this, and try Diener or one of the others for a year, and build a case for Ivymount.[/quote]
