[QUOTE="vja4Him, post: 362095"] After discussing the 504 Plan .... The Resource Specialist brought up the issue of an IEP. He and the School Psychologist tried to persuade me against pursuing an evaluation. I was told by a Special Education teacher (many years experience with Special Education and seems to be up-to-date with the laws regarding Special Education) that they (the people at my son's school) would try to get me to change my mind .... The Resource Specialist told me that an IEP would label my son, and the School Psychologist told me that an IEP would hinder my son's higher-level education (high school and college). They continued to try and get me to change my mind, but I insisted that they follow through with the evaluation. I brought up the law regarding the 60-days time limit to finish the evaluation and implementation of an IEP ... They told me that the 60 days will not start until we sign the papers at the meeting on August 19th. I've been reading through the laws regarding the 60 days time limit, and it seems that the 60 days really begins from the day that I delivered the letter(s) to the school, which was Monday, May 12, 2010 (not counting the days that the school is closed for the summer; summer school not counting). I was told by a Special Education teacher that if you deliver the letter requesting an evaluation when there are only 5 days before the end of the school year, then the 60 days starts on the first day of the new school year. I delivered the letter requesting an evaluation 12 days before the end of the school year, and so those 12 days should be applied to the 60-day time limit. School is not officially over until Friday, June 4th, 2010. Friday is a work day for the teachers and supposedly counts towards the 60 days. I brought this legal issue up at the end of the meeting, but the Resource Specialist insisted that I was wrong, and that the 60 days does not start until we sign the papers on the day of our next meeting on August 19th, 2010. Does anyone know the law and have experience with this issue regarding the 60-days time limit to finish the evaluation and implement the IEP? [/QUOTE]
