[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 48229"] I was told today by the Special Education director at the district office that "the laws have changed" Our signature in only needed for initial placement. It is no longer needed on any IEP. Also was told that we cannot remove him from the program. We had this meeting two years ago. The spec. ed. director was at the meeting in elementary school. We refused to enter him into the program at that time because my concern was that we (parents) wanted the say so in his education. We did not want school to decide what and when he would do things. What classes he would take, etc. We were assured that we would ALWAYS be a part of the IEP team, and we would always have to sign off showing our approval. AND we could pull him out at any time if we did not like the program. We refused in 5th grade, but when he entered middle school things went down hill fast. By semester we were given an ultimatum either we put him in Special Education. or he gets expelled due to behavior issues. So, we put him in, again assured we could take him out at any time. I cannot find anything that says they need our signature, and I cannot find anything that states we can remove him. I am terrified of what will now happen to him. Will he be at the mercy of the school system forever? I don't know how to find an advocate. From what I see there is not any in our area. Now, yesterday she said the laws have changed and we cannot pull him out even if we wanted to. [/QUOTE]
