[QUOTE="klmno, post: 453615, member: 3699"] In our state, they use a "Modified Diploma" for Special Education kids that can't/don't reach the requirements for a standard diploma. In some cases, I'm sure that would be the best option but in others it would be leaving a child behind and just handing them a piece of paper. I don't think you want to even consider this or limit Wee's option on this when he is still so young and in elementary school. There are ways the sd can compensate for shorter days in school, I [I]think[/I]....I'm thinking special tutoring or something. Really, I'd be researching state DOE requirements and burning the phone lines with them. They KNOW that if they don't make a local jurisdiction comply with the law, you can go to a federal court because part of this is federal law. The sd will let you drag on forever in a state court until you are out of money. I called our state doe when difficult child was put in Department of Juvenile Justice this past time and that school automatically assigned him to a BUNCH of classes for commercial cleaning and such when difficult child's iep and transitional plan specifically said he was going for the advanced diploma (which I think he's blown now) and wanted to go to college, should get college prep classes and had the grades for them. The state Special Education person was on the phone with the Department of Juvenile Justice admin Special Education director in less than a day and a "plan" was formed and things changed FAST. Just keep in mind- the state doe is the authority over the local sd. If they don't do their job, the fed gov can step in. [/QUOTE]
