[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 431020, member: 1233"] What JJJ said. Wiz' best sped teacher ALWAYS met at the end of the year to get ready for the next year. In fact, we met in april or May before he started at their school. He was homeschooled then and I wanted to know what would happen if I enrolled him. We had a complete IEP before he started in the school. She was truly excellent and I wish I could send her to whip your school into shape. Insist on the meeting now, and on one before school starts. This is just a way to get you to go along with what you already know doesn't work. They are not going to meet before school next year any more than they did last year. they don't want to pay teachers to be there when the kids are not so they pack the days before school with meetings of the entire staff, etc... and there is NO time for seeing parents and doing IEPs. Plus if you dont' meet till then you won't get ESY - duh. Which saves them $$ that they don't want to spend on sp ed students anyway. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.......... Don't give in. You know what he needs. Ask the sp ed teacher to give YOU a written list of things she does to help him, esp when he starts to get upset. YOU keep it because it iwll NOT be there in the new teacher's files. I have seen quite a few sp ed teachers who go into a new school and gut the files so they only have the records of grades and meetings and not the things like that list.
