Different poster than those above. DCPS has changed their strategy in the past 3 years. It's not like even 10-15 years ago. JUST went through this and also with parents who went through over the years with DCPS.

The latest 'self contained' approach is really just this past year... it's designed to meet the letter of the law but not the intent. They will document saying they will deliver things like reading instruction with OG etc - but then put your kid who needs that in a "small room" placement with kids with totally different needs and teachers WHO ARE NOT TRAINED in the services they say they will provide. Then you have a different threshold of showing that they failed delivery of services vs. that the IEP is at issue. In the mean time, your kid still can't read. People who have no understanding or sympathy for this or roll their eyes as so called 'rich' parents who are upset because DCPS refuses to support any pathway to give your kid an education aren't living with this.

PP here, agree completely that DCPS's strategy is following the letter of the law, not the intent.  I really think that just want us to go away.[/quote]
