Hey. I know the feeling. My daughter has an IEP in place, she had it at the school we were in last year, we moved and while the school system here has its better than old things going on, they are not doing her right by her IEP . She is supposed to be able to orally do her spelling test , she is to have a scribe, myself at home included , or she can do things on the computer and print it out , and I am fair about it , I will not spell the words right if she does it wrong , I write what she tells me to and everything. We finally had an ARC meeting and NOW they want me to go get her glasses which are less than a year old , before they test her again. She is also supposed to have 90 min of special ed a day ,BUT gets 30. I am so mad at them but there is no other school here in my small town. Since you have practice with this , what can I do.. ??? email is [email protected]
PS , I think you bought some chickens from us a while back , so you know which school I am talking about. Got a new pc and forgot my password to the other name..
Well, all states are supposed to incorporate the "no child left behind act" in their school systems. And have to provide services as per the individuals with disabilities act. If they don't have the service to provide they are supposed to get it, even if it is for only one child in the school. The school board is supposed to have funds set aside for just this thing. Unfortunately, a lot of them don't have enough and the individual schools have to rely on the grant they get each year from the free lunch program and other fund raisers. They get so much for each free lunch app. filled out regardless of whether or not the kid qualifies, so it is important for everyone to fill it out but most don't because they know they don't qualify...Lost money for the schools because these folks won't fill it out. I always fill it out completely then write don't qualify across the front. The principal at my sons school told me they don't get as much grant money as compared to one of the small country schools in our system does because the lower income and smaller schools supposedly need more assistance. She had to turn away an IEP child in a wheelchair this year that lives in her zone because the school didn't have the resources to support that childs education. We don't even have a SPED class at that school...No tier program or anything.
Where we used to live in TN they took the Act very seriously and even had a class for the ADHD or Section 504 kids to go to after they collect their assignments for the day. They get their work done they go back to class. I was a SPED assistant in the moderate to severe IEP children. It was so rewarding.
