[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We haven't received notification and are quite heartbroken. My DD has a very extensive IEP so I was hoping she would be offered a seat. [/quote]

We are in the same situation (Murch). I can't figure out how DC missed out on a spot given the school's priority group profile and the profile of our kid. [/quote]

I would be on the phone on Monday asking that question to the coordinator of special education at Murch.  How can they say that they are providing FAPE to your child when most children at Murch with IEPs will be in person and your child will not be.[/quote]

That's great advice, thank you! Though I don't blame the school...I think I'd have to aim that question at DCPS Central (and their mysterious algorithm). I'm imagining their response would be, "it's a public health emergency so those rules don't apply right now, blah, blah."  [/quote]
You want it on the record that you believe your child needs in person instruction.
That DCPS making a decision that some students are getting in person - but not yours - even if it is lottery based - is making a decision that FAPE is not being offered to your child.

I would hope there is some lawyer willing to take a class action suit to require DCPS to provide compensatory services to all children with IEPs across DCPS who were not provided in person instruction.   If the buildings are open - they should be open for all in this protected class.[/quote]

Free appropriate public education isn't for parents to decide though. No where does it say, 'must be in person.'

To provide FAPE to a student, schools must provide students with an education, including specialized instruction and related services where necessary, designed to prepare the child for "further education, employment, and independent living."

It doesn't say anything about it being good instruction.
