[QUOTE="Martie, post: 143773, member: 284"] You need better advice than I can give you if you are going to DP. The email does to me suggest that they are trying to "push out" your difficult child. On the other hand, due to prior problems, the SD could defend itself by saying it was trying to "be prepared." I do not know what AES stands for--for sure, but I suspect the A E are "alternative education" and the S for services. The good news is the SD is acknowledging the requirement of a SD TO PROVIDE service to suspended or expelled children with IEPs. It should be VERY difficult to expel a child with an IEP and if I were your advocate, and your child is expelled, I woud push hard for EVERY single IEP item and nothing less as FAPE. It is hard to do this, and shoving a kid onto a 3 hour a week homebound tutor or putting the kid on a computer based learning program does NOT constitute FAPE in my opinion. However, that would be up to the DP hearing officer. The BIGGEST lac in most "alternative plans" is not social interaction with normally developing peers and therefore, no chance to improve these critical life skills. THAT needs to be addressed for suspended and expelled students..and it usually isn't. Martie [/QUOTE]
