[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 231085, member: 1550"] Sometimes the Superintendent can be a pain in the neck too. I still believe an Advocate is the best answer (and the fastest). Schools can be very confrontational and drive you nuts (been there/done that). Every state has free advocates that are listed at the State Dept. of Education. But school districts don't tell you about them for obvious reasons (as in they don't want the State Board of Education in their face). If you get an advocate, he or she knows the state laws and won't allow the school to try to skimp on services. We have stopped all the fighting with the school board by hiring advocates. School districts don't like to mess with them as they control the pursestrings to the SD. They do what the Advocate tells them to do. We found that even the toughest adversary backed down quickly when we brought an Advocate with us to the IEP meetings. Now we always do. [/QUOTE]
