[QUOTE="slsh, post: 40607, member: 8"] A word of warning about filing with- OCR. If they do *not* find in your favor, what you end up with is federally sanctioned discrimination. When I finally consulted with a very hot shot Chicago sped atty about Boo's situation, he was not happy that I had filed the OCR complaint. My complaint was that Boo's self-contained class was not in an actual school building and was subject to change based on space issues, therefore this was discrimination based on disability since *only* students with- disabilities are shuffled around and also did not meet FAPE in LRE. OCR's decision was that since HS students "visited" once a week, this was FAPE in LRE and there was no discrimination. Was the first time I ran head first into the "placement is the program, not the location" argument. Just a word of warning. [/QUOTE]
