[QUOTE="slsh, post: 498970, member: 8"] I can't quote regs on this, but I'm not sure that an IEP would protect your child from expulsion from this school. To me, the fact that he had to be tested in order to attend says this is not your average public school (i.e. neighborhood school). IDEA guarantees free and appropriate public education in least restrictive environment. Appropriate education, not best education. It might be worth taking a look at the school's policies. What do they have to say about Special Education services and/or academic supports, or disabilities in general? What services do you think your child needs in order to succeed? I tend to expect the worst, but I'd be concerned that since this is a selective high school, not open to all students, that an IEP wouldn't do much at all in terms of preventing expulsion based on academics. They wouldn't be kicking him out of "school" for failing classes, just out of this selective program. on the other hand - have you talked to the teachers about his performance? Do you have the sense they might be willing to make accommodations in terms of homework reminders, or tutoring or something along those lines? You've obviously got a bright kid on your hands. I don't know - just tossing stuff out. Anyway.... just my opinion and gut feeling. [/QUOTE]
