[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that OSSE can deny private placement after DCPS approves it is ridiculous.
The fact that OSSE can not place children who can not be served within DCPS and these children need to wait is further denials of FAPE.

Where is the Attorney General making sure that DC is following federal law?  [/quote]

What is osse supposed to do if the student gets denied from the schools they applied to?  They just keep sending the file out.  There isn’t anything else they can do. They can’t force a school to take kids over their student programming limit.  People think nonpublic placement is so easy and it’s a snap.  It’s not [/quote]

I am having this problem in ACPS (Alexandria City). They approved private placement in November. No schools have accepted DC because he is so behind grade level (as in, he is in 4th grade and does not know the alphabet all the way through or have any sight words other than his name), but also on HS diploma track bc he does not have a diagnosed intellectual disability. Schools (KTS, Ivymount, Oakwood) are telling me there is no one like him so he doesn't fit into any cohorts and would require a 1:1 intensive approach. Now talking to school about them covering some intensive tutoring at Lindamood Bell over the summer and possibly next year and re-applying if he can make some significant progress in reading/math. Or maybe at that point the public school could meet his needs. But right now he is not progressing so school has recommended private placement. But see above re: private schools not taking him. Who is supposed to be educating him if public school can't and no privates will take him??? [/quote]

What’s holding him back from learning? Is he behind in all subjects or just reading?  Is it behaviors?  If they can’t find a private placement for him,  they have to educate him in the public system. [/quote]
