[QUOTE="tee2, post: 155531, member: 591"] I thought I'd check in and give an update. In the end, I got what I wanted, so it's all good. In the end, I was able to use a student transfer to have her stay at this same school. But, that's only because I got "outside documentation," AND mainly because I had the principal's support and help. I still believe it should have been a part of her IEP, but I don't have it in me to fight a fight that even other school personnel had already tried to win and had lost! The school system's "gatekeeper" was doing plenty of gatekeeping, unnecessarily, during the IEP meeting. Usually, it was over something so minor that it would have been amusing if I wasn't already so irritated. Oh, how common/uncommon is it to have them ask during the first 5 minutes of the IEP meeting if the general education teacher may leave to return to her classroom? I thought that was strange, since if we had been planning to send my daughter to that school (which was what they were saying at that point was going to happen), the teacher would be about the most important person at the meeting. Anyway, I truly believe that, as long as some key people stay at this school, it won't really even matter so much what's in her IEP. They really have been reasonable to deal with. And that's so completely different from my dealings with other schools in the past. So wish me luck! Thanks for all the help! I'm sure I'll be back for more advice at some point. Tee [/QUOTE]
