[quote=Anonymous]As a student with an IEP, your child is guaranteed to be placed in the courses mandated by the IEP (typically the core academic courses with support plus Resource, reading/math interventions, etc.) No student - not even those with IEPs - are guaranteed to be placed in specific electives (and Sociology is an elective). In the spring, you ***request*** electives - you don't "sign up" for them and it doesn't matter how early in the process you do so. It may just so happen that there is only one section of Sociology offered and it conflicts directly with one of the courses that are mandated by the IEP. In this case, the IEP courses trump the elective requests, and your child is placed in an alternate elective.

If it is that important to you that your child study sociology, either a look for a course outside of MCPS or contact the Administrator, the Special Ed head, and the counselor to let them know that it is very important to your student to take Sociology this year and you would even be willing for him/her not to take courses mandated by the IEP in order to do so. For example, it may be possible to take Sociology and a non-supported section of Science. If this were the case, you would understand that there would NOT be the support of a co-teacher or paraeducator in the Science class. It's cost/benefit. What's most important here? [/quote]
