[QUOTE="klmno, post: 257240, member: 3699"] The meeting was scheduled for tomorrow. They never would clarify exactly what it was for but did mention that they still thought the re-evaluation should not be completed until difficult child was "more stable"- which of course, defies the logic to me. Anyway, I had agreed to meet but checked with the state and found out that iep's and/or re-evaluation's are NOT to be put on hold. the home sd is responsible until difficult child is transferred. Being that I apparently have a label on me with those in the county, I decided just to go to the meeting and not say anything, but not sign anything and tell them they could work it out with the state. :raspberry-tounge: (It's amazing how the mention of a Special Education attny or the state agencies gets such a different reaction from sd's.) Then, this morning I get an email asking exactly where is difficult child right now. I had told them before, but I emailed and told them again. And, I told them what I had learned last week so I mentioned that it was still unclear to me what this meeting was about tomorrow. Then, between 3:20 and 5:20 I received 2 emails and 2 phone messages saying this meeting tomorrow is canceled. :smart: Maybe the problem between me and those in the county systems is just that instead of me telling them what I already found out and what I would have expected them to know, or at least look into after I tell them this is what I learned, I just need to let them find out the hard way or act like it's all their idea or something. It seems like such a stupid power game to me sometimes. Not to mention a waste of time. That's ok- their deadline for having the re-evaluation complete didn't move and they are the ones who tried to put it off - thinking it wouldn't matter anymore- and of course, waiting for difficult child to become stable. :knockedout: Now here's a potential problem- I was going to ask for an IEE after their evaluation was complete because all they were doing was 2 parent forms, one teacher form (for adhd of course), and one written test and one "interview" of difficult child by the Special Education teacher. Not only is that nowhere close to comprehensive for a kid already on an iep and a diagnosis of a mood disorder, being treated as BiPolar (BP), but difficult child hasn't been in their school since mid Jan and only attended about 5-10 days in Dec and Jan, as far as I'm concerned, any teacher report is null and void. If the kid is in state juvy, can a parent still get an IEE paid for by the sd? A psychiatric would have to travel to where difficult child is. And the general rudeness and lack of consideration of people employed by the county rubs me the wrong way too. Less than 2 hours after difficult child's court I was getting emails about how it went. It wasn't because they cared- they wanted to set up this meeting and find out when I was returning school stuff.
