[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I want to thank you all, again.  You've given me some good ideas to follow through on this.  I'm in the process now of writing a letter to capture what happened in the meeting and to provide perspective on my reaction.  The writing process is helping me be more dispassionate, clarify my thoughts and document how egregious the school's actions were.  I came into the meeting and the draft IEP showed they had already selected service delivery options and hours with no input or discussion with me.  What they selected was completely different than what we had agreed to in the previous meeting.  Of course, their position is that what they were presenting is just a 'draft', it's a 'proposal'.  In all the years I've been doing this, I've never been at an IEP meeting where the service delivery options and hours were already populated.  And, they couldn't show me the data that lead them to this conclusion.  Oh, I had also asked for a person from the central office to attend (someone with expertise in the area we were discussing).  A central office person did not attend, I was not informed a rep would not be there and was told the school team had had 'staffing' (not a meeting, a 'staffing') where that representative had spoken to them.  Yeah, they're trying to screw us.

And they wonder why I won't attend an IEP meeting without an advocate.  [/quote]
