[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 167045, member: 23"] Hi marianna One thing you may need to know is that the second the sd received your request for evaluation for Special Education, the citation "Protections for Children Not Yet Eligible for Special Education" went into effect. It's a provision of IDEA protecting students behavior-wise. There's a thread about it in the Sp Ed Archives. There are 3 incidents that trumps this however. One pertains to drugs being at school. In these instances, the sd cannot expel a student but they can move them to an alternative education campus for up to 45 days. A good parent friendly website regarding sp ed is [url]www.wrightslaw.com[/url] . It is true that failing the TAKS in 8th grade can retain a student. However, there is a caveat. A team can override the automatic retention. If you feel strongly that your child is capable of doing the work, I'd ask to be a member of the decision team. It's common that by the time parents find this forum, they've had less than pleasant experiences trying to get their child appropriate supports in school, so we can empathize with you. Welcome to the site. [/QUOTE]
