[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 403203, member: 1991"] One more thought - the attorney won't minute that he refuses to put that phrase in, but you can. Write your own report of the meeting, include what you asked for, list what you haven't yet got, state your feelings about this issue and send it. Also include tat attorney refuses to budge on this point and also refuses to acknowledge his refusal. Then lodge this as your own record of the events. Let them know, as part of your notes, that if they disagree with what you have written, then they need to put that disagreement in writing to you and ensure it is kept on record. As your letter should also be. If nothing else, ask them to let you know in writing of any objections; you will take a lack of response as agreement that your notes are accepted as a valid record of what you recollect from the meeting. You have a lot more power that you can use, to push your point across. You can still word your letter in a positive, friendly way. "Thank you for meeting with me. I was impressed with the progress we made; notably X, Y and Z. I am disappointed about the lack of dedicated aide. I understand the concerns are as follows: [list the arguments by the school]. But my concerns are these [list them] and as I stated in the meeting, I would be sympathetic to some of the issues raised and of course as a reasonable person, would not expect the impossible.

But you are entitled, as a member of the process (and the person who gets to sign off on the end result) to have considerable input yourself, independent of the CYA stuff tat the school will go on with. Just go ahead and remove the manhole cover from the lawyer's ^&&! Expose it to the cold light of day! Marg [/QUOTE]
