[quote=Anonymous]Year 1 in DC BASIS ignored several IEPS and simply didn't provide required services (e.g. x hours with a reading specialist or SLP). No clue why and it was dumb. There were investigations by the US Dept of Ed and the DC Public Charter School Board and BASIS fired people. During Aiken's tenure the school hired a new head of special education services and additional specialists. This is all a matter of public record, as was the fact that the DCPCSB 'cleared' them last year after 2+ years of monitoring. That said, virtually every public school gets sued at some point for its failures on the special ed front. Sometimes for not providing services, sometimes for missing legal deadlines and sometimes because parents of kids with special needs and the schools disagree on whether the quality or quantity of the services is sufficient. -Current BASIS DC parent who has been at the school for 3+ years[/quote]
