[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 40755, member: 23"] Coleen, What happens next year should be dictated by your son's IEP -- not via a vote of the school board. As defined by the Court, an IEP (Individual Education Program) should be "individualized," "personalized," "tailored," and "specially designed" to meet the "unique needs" of that one child."" Trading one presigned curriculum/program for another will not necessarily meet the criteria for an appropriate IEP for difficult child. And yes, your sd knows this. Mediation can be helpful, and it is a step in mandated IDEA Procedural Safeguards. This is typically a voluntary procedure, e.g., both parties (parent and sd) must agree to utilize mediation. I've used mediation, but never had to go through the Mediation. After I formally requested Mediation (via CM to the sd and SEA), the sd got their act together. I can only assume that they didn't want the SEA involved and it involved a strategy in case I filed Due Process. Keep good written records -- they may come in handy. A student's IEP based on the vote of a school board is definately a problem area for the sd. [/QUOTE]
