Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy IEP meeting at school -- must vent!

Just to update you:

I wrote a letter to the principal regarding the horrid IEP meeting. We wound up having to postpone our meeting to discuss math grade skip until the day before school let out (work schedule problems on my end).

To summarize, she really managed to talk a lot without saying much or promising anything, other than she'll try to place DS9 in a class with a teacher who gets him, and she'll let him take a computer-based math test next fall that goes above grade level to see what his needs are.

Also, she claimed she hadn't been able to finish reading my letter about the IEP meeting. I summarized that I was asking for classroom modifications for DS9 and she said that seemed reasonable. I stated that I had not yet seen the new IEP, hoped it would include those modifications, and that if it did not, I would be pursuing an appeal via the Board of Education.

My husband was so disheartened to hear about the total lack of progress on math acceleration, that he suggested we move to Pennsylvania (I told him about the GIEP mandate there.)
