[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Fairfax, the special ed teacher emails us with a few dates/times that the team is available, and I choose one that works for us or I ask for alternate dates. This seems much more efficient than sitting around waiting for a letter.

The parents are equal members of the IEP team and their availability should be considered before scheduling the meeting. Anything else is just really an inefficient waste of everyone's time.

[b]We always dismiss the general ed teacher from our meeting at the beginning [/b]so I can't comment on the above, except that if I overheard a teacher saying that out loud, I would be pretty shocked and disappointed.[/quote]

Sorry for hijacking op, but pp why on earth do you do this? The gen ed teacher often has the most valuable insight in our IEP meetings and it would never be acceptable for this to happen. It is important for the gen ed teacher to provide input. You do not have a valid IEP team together if you are doing this.  [/quote]
