[QUOTE="Martie, post: 26466, member: 284"] SEnd both letters CERTIFIED to the Director of Special Education. You should listen to the advice of these good people. IF you do not request in writing by CERTIFIED MAIL, I predict the SD will NOT evaluate. They are not as dumb as they are pretending to be in my opinion. In the "memo of understanding, you can turn it into a formal request by your reiteration of what was stated at the meeting. SEND IT CERTIFIED, and by doing this, the 60 calendar day time-line starts. Mention this in the memo--it is good that they know you know the law. In IL, if a family says that photocopying is a financial burden, the SD may not charge. As far as I know, the SD has no way of investigating whether or not there is a burden. I always used to say it was a burden because I pay confiscatory property taxes--so any additional expense is a burden. I was never refused because they have no mechanism to evaluate the validity of the claim. Martie [/QUOTE]
