[QUOTE="Shari, post: 431224, member: 1848"] I dont know, Marg....she's got 10-13 years left of Wee (small district - she's stuck with him til 18-21)...not many staff stick around that long... At the last IEP meeting, which I beleive was in February/March, we were to meet again "in a month" to review the results of the assistive tech trials they were doing. It was also agreed that ESY would be discussed "at a subsequent meeting". And that was when we didn't know the sped teacher was leaving. I requested this meeting AS SOON as I found out sped was not returning. Wee was placed entirely self contained for most of his first grade year at the public school (he was in a private school for K - first half of first). At the end of first grade, they wanted to put him back in mainstream for second. For second grade, once again, mainstream failed miserably, and he was put back in self contained. And guess what they did...? At the end of second grade, they planned to stick him back in mainstream for third. In addition, this is the first teacher that has been successful at not only keeping him in school, but TEACHING him. The other sped teachers could keep him there...but they taught him zilch (including the private school). So this is one teacher out of 4 years that has "had it" and been able to actually work with him. They'd be stupid not to draw on her experience. I "get" that the new staff isn't there yet, and we will need to meet with them. But what are they going to tell new staff if they don't have on paper what is working right now? Aside from that, his goals need to be updated. He's no longer attending math in the mainstream again (the only subject he was mainstream in). He has met his reading goal, and I think even his behavior goal. I'll have to check them... The other thing? I've requested we meet EVERY YEAR before school starts and it has yet to happen. Something always comes up and we meet after the first week or two of school is passed. Wee's issues culminate in what they consider serious behavior problems. He does not handle stimuli, change, or transitions well. Yet not once have they had a plan on the first day of school for Wee. Well, I take that back....last year they made a plan the day before school started. He would be laregly in mainstream and in the 4.5 hours he was to attend school, he would have 12-14 transitions. Yeah....not. Oh...and the district brought in their attorney in response to my "demands" last fall. [/QUOTE]
