[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 100921, member: 23"] I read your post earlier this morning, and my first reaction wasn't good so I thought I'd wait until my blood pressure went back down to reply. But smoke is still billowing out of my ears. You already know what they are up to and that they'll stop at nothing to intimidate and strong-arm you, so in that they have chosen to act in this manner I'd get the clarification in whether they "agree" or not. I'd do that by filing a Complaint addressed to: U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) U.S. Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights (OCR) U.S. Department of Education, Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) Head Honcho of your State Education Agency If memory serves correctly, you must cc it to your school district. I'd also cc it to: OSEP - Compliance Monitoring Department OCR - Compliance Monitoring Department FPCO - Compliance Monitoring Department SEA - Special Education Compliance Monitoring Department SEA - Section 504 Compliance Monitoring Department SEA - FERPA Compliance Monitoring Department I'd certainly state that the school district allowed their attorney to preside over the meeting. It could be that these governing agencies do nothing more than go through the motions of addressing your Complaint, however, your clarifications will be a matter of record -- whether the sd likes it or not. And whether the sd likes it or not, others will be made aware of their bullying and intimidating tactics. Taking this action may be like throwing gas on a fire or they may back off.... You'll have consider all factors. On the upside, their action is a backhanded compliment in a way, e.g., they apparently felt they needed to bring out the "big guns" to control the parent. It's a sad state of affairs when sd's refuse to be professionals. When a sd refuses to place a parent's letter in the file, I can't help but wonder what else they are trying to hide. Sorry you have to deal with this. [/QUOTE]
