[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would really like to see the training sessions for staff.  Are they open to the public or posted somewhere?[/quote]

Calm down. They are highly scripted and have to be approved by the Office of Civll Rights. [/quote]

Okay, then where can we find this?

The training for staff on how to run the IEP meetings will be key for parents to see.  They need to know what metrics the staff are using and what types of services will be covered.  How much discretion do the IEP teams really have?

Say there was a child who had an IEP whose parents placed them at a private school for 2020-2022?  What amount would be covered based on how high of a need there was?  If a child only has an IEP for speech (ie can’t say their Rs), would the private school be fully covered?  What about a child who had significant needs (ESY, virtually all of their hours were in Special Education, etc).  How will the IEP team treat 2020-21 vs 2021-2022?

All of this needs to be clear to parents.  It seems like FCPS would want to make the guidelines clear to their staff but keep parents in the dark.  Right?[/quote]

My kid has an IEP in FCPS, received services from his school during distance learning, and made progress on his goals. I doubt he will get any compensatory services. Why do you think a child whose parents pulled them out of the Public School system would get services to make up for what they lost when they were not in the Public Schools at that time? You choose to send your kid to Private School, that school is responsible for your child's education during that time.[/quote]

Based on what parents were told in the information meeting, this is actually exactly what will likely happen.

Parents who bring receipts will get reimbursed.  If they hired tutors or switched to private school, they are set.

If you helped your child access their education and they made progress, no money will be forthcoming. This is where my family is and it stinks.

Maybe staff are being told something different or there is something I’m missing.
