The law for ESE is one regular Ed one ESE teacher minimum....all are welcome to come but one of each has to be there to represent.
The law for 504 is the representative chairing the meeting and at least one teacher. But more can come if available. I find the more there the worse the plan for my son. One chair, one or both parents, and two teachers is the most I want. Once you get seven or eight teachers, gets to be a mess writing the thing.
Parent conference to discuss the plan afterwards is a different story.
Our gifted meetings had one LEA rep (a staffing specialist/compliance person) and usually two teachers one who was gifted endorsed (and usually the second one was too....but I think she was representing regular Ed).
I often wondered why we couldn't do both meetings at the same time...he is a whole kid with two plans....but they said no.
