If you want to see the school's dyslexia testing report before the meeting you can try this:

Send an email to the full team that will be attending the meeting (SPED person, staff rep, teacher, etc) and request a copy of the dyslexia testing results at least 3 days prior to the meeting (or whatever time frame you need). If the staff says they don't have enough time to prepare the report, request that the meeting be moved. There are a certain # of days that the school has in which to hold the team meeting to review eligibility, so they can't put off the meeting forever. This worked for us - we didn't get our ds' scores until the day before the meeting, but we did at least have enough time to review them and be prepared before the meeting.

Have you looked into what your options are if the school finds your dd isn't eligible for an IEP? Can you request an IEE (Independent Educational Evaluation) paid for by the school district?
