[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if they "meet" to accommodate the timeline no major decisions will be made until the parent is a part of the meeting and signs. This really isn't the huge deal some posters are making it out to be. The team make a scheduling issue that's all this is. The school is trying to comply with legal requirements. Speaking as a ln IEP case manager. [/quote]

If the school and parent/guardian agree to meet after the annual due date, it's only a black mark against the school, not an illegality. There are also times when it is unavoidable such as when there have been multiple snow days and the IEP meetings could be rescheduled in time or unexpected family/health reasons.

As a parent, I would absolutely opposed the school meeting without me in order to avoid missing the date unless we had agreed ahead of time.  I would especially dig my heels in if the school just announced when the meeting was since it speaks to a larger problem at the school. I'm happy to be a partner when I'm treated like a partner.

I agree this does make the child's SPED case manager look bad and the school equally look dysfunctional or understaffed. Usually schools make sure to schedule these weeks out to avoid any issues. This year also hasn't had any snow days and not being able to meet again for two weeks is crazy. [/quote]
