[QUOTE="oceans, post: 27555, member: 2687"] You need to know the laws so the school can't get away with anything. If you hire an advocate that knows the laws, generally the school "knows" what they can't get away with, and the meeting goes differently from the beginning. You need to document everything. You need to act like you are working together with the school as a team member, but who knows and advocates for your child's rights. You can request that the meeting be tape recorded, although they might not agree to it. You should read the minutes of the meeting, and you can request that things be added that were said, but were omitted. You do not need to sign anything until you have a chance to bring it home for reviewing. The school does not want to spend the extra money, but they do need to provide an appropriate education. You want him in the classroom learning, and not constantly suspended, or he is not getting an appropriate education. They need to provide an education for him somehow if he is not present in school enough to get that education. When they took my difficult child out of his English class due to behavior, they needed to set up an online computer program in English in a different room. When he was having trouble with his behavior during math class, they sent him to the Easy Child room to work on math with the Easy Child teacher. It does not matter how much money a person has, how much money the school has, or a person's marital status. The school could get in trouble if they are not giving someone an appropriate education because of those things. Know your legal rights, or hire someone who knows the laws in your state.
