[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in tested in hearing if he had a Special Ed eligibility category with an IEP. If he did, was there a formal change to an IEP sogned by all attendibg the mtg.[/quote]

I'd have to look for the link, but supposedly his mother refused to sign the IEP and also refused to consider alternate placement for him.[/quote]

And the school administration absolutely had the right and ability to overrule her and change his placement. They didn’t and this was the result. [/quote]

How does this work though? What options do admin have? [/quote]

To take the right stand.  If a parent causes trouble, it is easier to give in.  Taking a stand means going up the ladder and bosses don't like that.[/quote]

IME the limited options available to admin when parents refuse testing or services is repeated suspension leading to expulsion, and they are loathe to do that to a child in the early elementary years. Instead these kids with severe behavioral issues just get managed until they are older and the consequences can no longer be avoided because of the severity of their actions. We need more options.[/quote]
