[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s very school/principal/teacher specific. I’ve had 3 kids with IEPs. #1 and #2 were a struggle. My impression was the school had major special ed staffing issues. It was always a struggle. #3 began services through infants and toddlers and transitioned to an IEP in preschool so I didn’t have to fight for him to qualify in K.  The school got a new principal soon after and she was much more supportive. Later there was also a new case manager who was simply amazing. #3 still has an IEP in middle school where the 6th grade case manager was stellar and went above and beyond but the document hasn’t been worth the paper it’s written on for 7th and 8th. So I really think it’s staff dependent. [/quote]

Thanks, OP here. that could be another explanation. Not enough special Ed teachers. But thats where i am confused. Wouldnt more IEPs bring more budget at same time?[/quote]

More money doesn’t mean more staff. There are just not enough professionals to fill all of these positions. The same problem is happening in private schools. [/quote]
