[QUOTE="slsh, post: 388798, member: 8"] Shan - if you sent a certified letter requesting that your son be evaluated for potential disabilities, the district has X (60? 90?) number of days to get that evaluation done. No "6 weeks of intervention by teacher" before testing. That may be SD policy, but it doesn't stop the time line according to IDEA (Federal law supersedes state law and/or district policy). If you let them do their "interventions" for 6 weeks, that is going to put you at about Christmas break, so they aren't going to start testing until next year. You could be well into third quarter before you even find out the results of their testing. You need to hold them to the Federal time line (sorry, exact # of days is escaping me - I'm thinking 60 for initial evaluation, but cannot remember if that is 60 school days or 60 calendar days - huge difference). In the meantime, your son's behaviors are interfering with his ability to receive an education, especially if they start suspending him. Since you have requested that he be evaluated for potential disabilities, the SD has been made aware of that and I believe they cannot suspend him for more than 10 school days without changing placement. You really really *really* need to get an advocate on board ASAP. [/QUOTE]
