[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 462676, member: 1169"] 1. Washington is an all-party consent state. You cannot tape the meeting without everyone's consent. 2. Your signature is not required for the IEP to go into effect. 3. You will lose all input into the IEP if you do not attend the meeting. It doesn't sound like they are denying what is happening in the IEP meeting but more that they are not agreeing to anything. When it got this bad with our school district, I took over running the meeting. I would list of the "concerns that have brought us here today" making sure to include all of the concerns that school staff mentioned as well as mine. I'd ask if there was anything else that should be on the list. Then I'd try and get everyone to brainstorm ideas on how to solve 1 (or one group if there were similar issues) at a time. After 55 minutes, I would point out that we were almost out of time and summerize what we had agreed on. I would either put it in writing or proofread what the 'official notetaker' had written. I would state that we could continue to brainstorm ideas via email and thank them for their time. Try and schedule your meeting 1 hour before school starts or after school is over, so that they are motivated to keep it short as well. [/QUOTE]
