It is a very good idea to ask for the teacher's complaints in writing becuse when you have a large stack (of both academic and behavioral issues), when you request an evaluation pert the regs. Sheila gave to you, then will have no reason to refuse.


I am very leary of suggesting parents go to Due Process but "refusal to evaluate" in the face of SD produced evidence by the teacher is a pretty easy parent win. Most hearing Officers do not take kindly to a SD that will not even "look."


At a minimum, you need a good on-site advocate to request a DP hearing.


Half the expense of DP is borne by the SD, so there is some incentive for them evaluate when they strongly suspect they will lose.
