[quote=Anonymous]"I got no problem driving/walking my kid to the nearest DCPS school for services. I wouldn't expect the private school to do this. Having DCPS come to the private for the services sure sounded better but doesn't appear to have been a possibility. Retaliation by DCPS by diluting services now to next to zero doesn't make sense and sure doesn't sound "equitable."

DCPS has been moving to only serve the most severely disabled children on their terms. There continues to ban an attitude of "fit into our model" or we will find ways to drive you out.

I would be very happy to have a two hour conversation with the poster who mentioned that special needs kids get more attention than others. It would take me that long to detail to you the ignorance of the law by those in the school system, the incomplete implementation of an IEP, legal action I took, thousands of private money spent on therapy and help for a kid who was suicidal.  We have been driven from the system and I am now homeschooling a high schooler.  I pay taxes yet somehow spending thousands of my dollars to fight an incompetent system when what we asked for was reasonable and done in other jurisdictions was not worth the emotional damage to my child and my family.

OP:  I think you can try to appeal to the OSSE and testify about the negative and exclusionary impact of  these decisions and also to contact the OSSE Ombudsman to make your case.   [/quote]
