[QUOTE="klmno, post: 223984, member: 3699"] He's had a total of 19 absences and 10 tardies this school year. (School started the day after Labor Day) Approximately 9 of the absences were due to physical illness. It is the policy of the sd to turn over excessive absence reports to social services even if they are all excused when it gets to this point. To the best of my knowledge, the school has not done this. Social services would then either make the kid and parent appear in court to answer for it or get the county team on board, or both. It is my understanding that the exception would be if something is written in the iep to accommodate a need for the child that included excessive absences. This is one of the reasons that I have not signed the last iep- after the last iep meeting a month ago, the attendance issue got worse and I told the sd cm (in an email) that I was not comfortable signing the iep because this was moving into crisis mode and we needed to have another meeting. She did not set up another meeting. She kept emailing saying she needed iep back in her hands- I sent it via difficult child, unsigned. Now, we are in crisis mode so I asked principal to request county team but principal wants IEP meeting- which would need to be in Jan due to kids being out for holidays the next 2 weeks. I'm almost at a point where I'll go ahead and call PO and explain and just hope and pray that she'll request the team instead of finding difficult child truant- if he's truant- why didn't school turn us in yet to get appropriate interventions? If he can't get to school due to other issues, why wasn't school beating down my door to have an iep meeting? I think it falls in the school's realm a whole lot, even though the principal is acting like it has nothing to do with her. [/QUOTE]
