[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 239462, member: 23"] This is a gray area in my opinion. If grandma has legal custody of difficult child, I think the sd may be within their rights not to contact the parent. As long as grandma signed a 5 day Waiver Notice, the meeting may be legal While the regs state the parent must be invited, when the parent is somehow unavailable or out of the picture, the definition of "parent" takes on the meaning of caretaker, foster parent, etc. I recommend that you contact your Regional OSEP office and present you situation and question. See [url]http://www.ed.gov/about/contacts/gen/regions.html[/url] for contact info. To perhaps circumvent this happening in the future, I'd send a letter via Certified Mail to your child's school district Director of Special Education advising that in the future you must be invited to all IEP meetings and staffings. Let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
