[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 312404, member: 1233"] Even though it is illegal I would actually be shocked if it wasn't put into writing in some school districts and even in some STATES. Many seem to think the federal rulings on IEPs and Special Education are just "guidelines" and NOT something they actually have to follow or do. We were TOLD by both our school principal AND the head of the Special Education dept that a certified letter did NOT put timelines into place. They said we had to sign a special permission form to have our child tested to start the timelines. The kicker was that the forms are kept under lock and key at the board building and it is like pulling crocodile teeth to get a form. MANY states do stuff like this. I just will be totally amazed if policies do not change to limit IEPs and the scope of them soon. It is totally horrible to do this to students and families who truly need help. [/QUOTE]
