[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 47917, member: 23"] You need to get a copy of evaluation report(s) prepared by the sd. You may schedule a meeting with the evaluator to appropriately explain the data and comments contained in the report(s). Scaled scores, standard scores and percentiles are different, however, they correlate. Example: The following scores are all dead-on average Scaled score - 10 Standard score - 100 Percentile - 50 You'll be better able to make sense of the scores once you've received them and have time to review them. [url="http://www.wrightslaw.com/advoc/articles/tests_measurements.html"]http://www.wrightslaw.com/advoc/articles/tests_measurements.html[/url] is a great tool to help parents learn to interpret scores. Student's with IEPs are held to the same Student Code of Conduct unless the IEP or BIP states differently. EXCEPT, they may not be suspended for more than 10 cummulative days in the school year. This would be considered a "change in placement," and requires a Manifestation Hearing. The AP is either misinformed or unethical. You'll find your state laws and rules on special education ( [url="http://dpi.state.wi.us/sped/hmlaws.html"]http://dpi.state.wi.us/sped/hmlaws.html[/url] ) parrallel the Federal regulations. They MUST, or they would loose federal funds. When I first started trying to learn special education, I printed out the Federal regs and our State regs and rules, put them in binders -- then read them and reread them. Looking at them side-by-side, I could track the similiarities. It helped me a great deal; well worth the cost of paper and toner. [/QUOTE]
