[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No experience with Latin, but my DC’s 504 was totally disregarded at DCI couple years ago. We switched schools. It sounds from this thread like there’s been improvement recently. That just wasn’t our experience.[/quote]

Did you read the other DCI thread about all of the special education teachers quitting?[/quote]

DCI parent here. [b]There has been turnover but we have had our IEP special Ed services met. 
[/b]
[b]Don’t worry about IEP so much.[/b]  We came from a dci feeder and the kids who peeled off to Latin loved it. Most of them struggled with the target language and were happier where they didn’t have to work as hard. DCI is great for STEM, so choose accordingly. If you want IB, DCI is better. If you want to focus on the classics and have an easier time, Latin is better. You’re in a very lucky spot![/quote]

Teacher turnover is an issue and will get worse with the tension right now. I can't believe you have a child with an IEP and recommend someone "not worry about IEP so much."  You should absolutely worry about the IEP and how hard you will have to fight the school to get services and accommodations met.  No parent of a child with an IEP would suggest not worrying about this. [/quote]

You’re just not understanding my point. The IEP requirements will be the same because they are written into the IEP. If the school you choose doesn’t meet them you can get it enforced. [/quote]

Get it enforced? What does that even mean. You’ve clearly never fought to “have it enforced” and your post is really dismissive of students with disabilities and the battle families often have in school. It’s another full time job.  Anyhow the OP asked about IEPs. Multiple posters including one who left the school say it’s not good. That is what the OP wants to know. So dismissing this isn’t helpful.[/quote]
