Interestingly I think this could turn into a positive development. I think my questions may have them defending and improving their placement rather than looking to use this report down the road to block us from seeking a change to the 2E school. We'll see what happens!
Indeed. I do think it's possible to take it back from the brink and make it workable. We've seen it. For us this has been a matter of clarifying what obligations the school has, using copious quantities of hard evidence, and then politely but resolutely holding them to those obligations. Working through the hierarchy of responsibility has been important; so has making the issues crystal clear. Not to say we never make enemies, but only to say that you *may* be able to keep them invested in finding solutions.
I hope it turns out that your school can get their act together and serve the whole child.
