My difficult child just transitioned a month ago back to his high school from a jjc residential/theraputic program. We had an IEP meeting his first day back. He is in an on-line Algebra 2 class that he is failing because he has no teacher support and needs help understanding the lectures/lessons. There are no regular classes offered because he is taking the beginning of the Algebra2 "A", at the last semester, when most of the students are in Algebra2 "B".
With an Emotional Imparied Classification, I was wondering how much extra money the school gets for my difficult child. I have never asked for an aid, he went to the resource room one hour a day last year. This year he is in two co-taught classes with his resource room teacher from last year. If he fails this Algebra class, he does not graduate on time - a huge goal next year. If they don't have a qualified math teacher available that hour what can I do to get him help? Can I insist they bring someone in? He can go for after school tutoring two days a week, but they are responsible for his learning the concepts/skills in school.
Any suggestions? I have been working with his teacher consultant and counselor the last 3 weeks. They finally had a Special Education teacher come one day last week and help him, but I do not believe she is certified in math.
Thanks,
