[QUOTE="slsh, post: 453610, member: 8"] I always sent requests to sped director (for the district). He/she had X # of days to schedule IEP mtg according state law - I'm thinking.... (gosh, it's been so long now and I forgot so fast, LOL) .... maybe 5 business days to schedule mtg and then they had to send 10-day prior written notice. If it was an urgent matter, I always included a stmt in my certified letter requesting the IEP mtg that I waived the 10-day PWN. Some sped dirs I was able to just call and things got done quickly - the pains I always sent certified letters requesting IEP or at the very least a certified letter of understanding that I had talked to them on X date at Y time and they had agreed to set up an IEP mtg ASAP since I waived PWN. klmno does have a good point about minimum requirements. The problem is that SD has already set a precedent of not providing a full day of education. I know you've got some good advocates working with- you Shari - I'm wondering if they've ever addressed the fact with- the SD that Wee should be in school for a full day and if the SD has ever sent a formal written refusal to do so, with the necessary documentation. Compensatory education should be, in my humble opinion, something that is going to have to be addressed with- SD. The sooner the better. FWIW, depending on how far down you get inhaled into sped services, be aware that sped students do *not* have to meet state/SD graduation requirements. Some districts will issue a certificate of completion when the student ages out. Others (like my evil SD) will hand out a diploma, and count that sped student as a "graduate". If they ever start talking about having Wee doing "alternative" state testing, you need to *run* to the nearest attorney and put a stop to it. In my experience, "alternative" state testing lets SD completely off the hook for ever educating a child. They become the ultimate in children left behind. [/QUOTE]
