[QUOTE="keista, post: 529419, member: 11965"] For the advocate, try the State's board of Education. They should be able to point you where to find one. If not, Call your Early Steps Center. They need to be in the loop- for all sorts of services so they may know where to direct you. I am not surprised this school did a bait and switch - advertising one thing, but actually doing another. You have to remember that although charter schools are funded by the public school system and are required to follow Federal Laws, they are privately run institutions whose only goal is a profit. Where I'm at? We have a few good ones, but not a year goes by that there isn't some sort of investigation into a charter school because of misused or misdirected funds. This year, we've got one going bankrupt and another that will get closed because it's a failing school! Fortunately this isn't all in my district but spread out amongst the 5 local districts. And they are content to ignore the IEP because they are pretty sure you are not fully aware of your rights and their responsibilities. This is how schools get away with this CR@P. You need to force them. However, since this school isn't even offering what they advertised, I'd just move on. in my opinion it wouldn't be worth the effort to fight them, but only you can decide if that is true. [/QUOTE]
