Thanks, syoblrig. That's helpful.
Yes, we are very lucky to have all this extra help and support. It sadly comes on the backs of several years of misdeeds by the school administration, leading to a complaint to the state department of ed over violations of Child Find and IDEA. The previous principal and district-level administrator would lie to parents and bully teachers to withhold services. The district, and this school in particular, are now under supervision of the state. I suspect DD is being viewed as a guaranteed success so they can prove they're doing right by students. And the school is truly headed in a new direction with 100% new administration in place, and the hiring of several well-trained new ISs. This IS is a hold over from the previous regime.
