[QUOTE="slsh, post: 499088, member: 8"] Interesting - not once in the gazillion IEP mtgs that I've had in a non-self-contained programs over the past 20+ years was a principal ever involved. That's in 3 different states, 5 different SDs. Sped directors, even had a superintendent once, various support staff, but never a principal - even when thank you was in mainstream. The principals I've dealt with- were not the gatekeepers of services and in fact had absolutely no say in what services were provided, the development/implementation of BIP, or anything else. It's a function of sped dept and ultimately the super, who is where the buck will stop if push comes to shove. Quite frankly, just as teachers have to be certified (in IL anyway) to teach sped, I think any admin staff involved should have to be sped certified as well. [/QUOTE]
