[QUOTE="mistmouse, post: 150430, member: 289"] Well, I just received word that the SD is refusing to have mediation. I was contacted by an employee from the State Department of Special Education who says they had talked with the director of SpEd and he refuses to submit a joint request for mediation as there is no reason to mediate them having their attorney there as they are within their rights to have her there. I understand all of that. So, will a fascilitated IEP meeting just be refused as well. I mean, does that have to be agreed on by both me and the SD, or can I request a fascilitated IEP meeting and they have to comply? If they can refuse both the mediation and the fascilitated IEP meeting, then that only leaves a parent one recourse, which is the state complaint or higher. This is ridiculous. I suppose I am going to have to file something so that they can be forced to prove that they have an attorney present at other IEP meetings besides my daughter's. Of course I know they will falsify records if that is the case to show she was at IEP meetings she never attended. On the plus side, the employee from the state department of SpEd said the director of SpEd must feel I know the IDEA as well or better than he does in order for him to feel he needs an attorney at the meetings to be on level ground. :knockedout::crazy1: mistmouse [/QUOTE]
