[QUOTE="Superpsy, post: 231148, member: 5848"] So they are letting her pass Math by having her not do any graded work? Strange. I think you're right in saying that they are basing their decision on just one score/result. I think what the school district is saying (just purely from their perspective) is that there is not demonstrated need in the area of Math...I don't understand how they say that without grading her work. What do other Math assessments say (not just the assessment done in the MFE)? The situation with your daughter sounds like she is at grade level...maybe. The real danger is losing ground and not keeping pace with the lesson. Their statement about state audits is kind of a fuzzy truth. The state reviews student IEPs to make sure that current goals (for example, in Math) match with the needs mentioned in the IEP current levels of performance and the MFE. It sounds like the needs mentioned in the neuropsychologist report can be used to apply to a wide range of academic subjects. My advice? 1. Put that request in writing...it doesn't matter if they are backed up or not. They have 30 days to respond to your request by a prior written notice. In the PWN they have to say what they are going to do. 2. Call an IEP meeting to discuss her placement in math. As long as there is an area of demonstrated need there honestly should be no issue. Be sure to reiterate that her current placement is NOT appropriate. Feel free to voice your concern that she is just being passed along and not actually graded. Be sure to tell them you think (or better..bring data) that their current intervention (one on one) is not working. 3. Unless your school is a "school in need of improvement" or not meeting annual yearly progress or some other issue like this then they are most likely not audited by the state yearly. Being audited by the state is kind of a big deal. 4. Unfortunately it is common for students to receive less services than they should at the middle school and high school level. For whatever reason services usually get tapered back. Hope this helps. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
