[QUOTE="Shari, post: 499074, member: 1848"] LOL Sue....ya, is me. Sad thing is, I [I]have[/I] done this before. The super has stepped in before, too. Heck, their attorney has stepped in before when I've called him and told him something they were doing. The really sad part is, I fully expect this will still not fix the ultimate problem, and the ultimate problem is the admin at the building level that have way too much power and too little knowledge of Special Education. There was a plan in place to get Wee on full days when the lawyer left a year ago and we were working it by adding time every successful 6 weeks. But the new admin at this building this year decided it needed to be changed and done her way. He's been a student in the district for 4 years. We've seen a new principal come every year. And every year, the principal has all the answers and calls the shot and the special services folks just bow down to them. Maybe that's how it supposed to work, I don't know, but it sure is a very ineffective way to operate - to have the new guy come in with no knowledge or training and allow them to take over - espeically when what is in place has been working. I suspect the sped director is supposed to be the one to step in and tell the principal "here's what we're doing" and have a little backbone in defending the special services people and the plans in place. But it is quite apparent that this one has no backbone and I frequently question how much she really knows about what she's doing, anyway. I don't trust any of them, and won't speak to them alone again, but the super has worked for us twice, now, so if that's the angle I have to go, so be it. Tho this principal has really irritated me enough that I really do want to file those complaints...but I will wait. [/QUOTE]
