[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 71756, member: 23"] IEP are often intentionally vague. From [url="http://idea.ed.gov/explore/view/p/%2Croot%2Cregs%2C300%2CB%2C300%252E116%2C"]http://idea.ed.gov/explore/view/p/%2Croot%2Cregs%2C300%2CB%2C300%252E116%2C[/url] : Regulations: Part 300 / B / 300.116 Sec. 300.116 Placements. In determining the educational placement of a child with a disability, including a preschool child with a disability, each public agency must ensure that-- (a) The placement decision-- (1) Is made by a group of persons, including the parents, and other persons knowledgeable about the child, the meaning of the evaluation data, and the placement options; and Re: IEP Changes [url="http://idea.ed.gov/explore/view/p/%2Croot%2Cstatute%2CI%2CB%2C614%2Cd%2C3%2CF%2C"]http://idea.ed.gov/explore/view/p/%2Croot%2Cstatute%2CI%2CB%2C614%2Cd%2C3%2CF%2C[/url] Statute: TITLE I / B / 614 / d / 3 / F (F) Amendments.--Changes to the IEP may be made either by the entire IEP Team or, as provided in subparagraph (D), by amending the IEP rather than by redrafting the entire IEP. Upon request, a parent shall be provided with a revised copy of the IEP with the amendments incorporated. As you are likely aware, the Fed regs are minimum requirements. Some states have statutes that provide IEPs for gifted students. You'll have to check your state regs on this issue. However, placement is controlled by the IEP Committee and the best interest of the child and his/her educational needs should be what drives the IEP. Even delivery of subject matter and amount of instruction minutes per week can be addressed in the IEP. Committee members tend to forget that IEP is an acronym for "Individual Education Plan." It is true that placement decisions are controlled by the CSE -- assuming this is an IEP team. However, you are a full member of the team, so these type decisions are not at school district discretion. Regulations: Part 300 / D / 300.321 Sec. 300.321 IEP Team. (a) General. The public agency must ensure that the IEP Team for each child with a disability includes-- (1) The parents of the child; (2) Not less than one regular education teacher of the child (if the child is, or may be, participating in the regular education environment); (3) Not less than one special education teacher of the child, or where appropriate, not less then one special education provider of the child; (4) A representative of the public agency who-- (i) Is qualified to provide, or supervise the provision of, specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of children with disabilities; (ii) Is knowledgeable about the general education curriculum; and (iii) Is knowledgeable about the availability of resources of the public agency. (5) An individual who can interpret the instructional implications of evaluation results, who may be a member of the team described in paragraphs (a)(2) through (a)(6) of this section; (6) At the discretion of the parent or the agency, other individuals who have knowledge or special expertise regarding the child, including related services personnel as appropriate; and (7) Whenever appropriate, the child with a disability.
