Yuck. Been there myself all I can suggests is to keep pushing and take it to the teacher, principal or district resource coordinator. It is OK if they change things for the new year but they need to at least have a conversation with you about it.
In my case the resource specialist who had been working with my daughter K-4th grade left and we got someone new in 5th grade. (6-8th was middle school and while it was the same school it had a different and wonderful resource teacher.) So we struggled through that last year of elementary with a resource specialist who was ineffectual and what turned out to be a bad classroom teacher whom I had to ask that her accommodations be met every step of the way. One week into the school year I contacted her and asked if she had read my daughter IEP and had a plan for that year. In 5th grade ALL her help was supposed to be push-in. (More and more of the help was push-in as she got older.) She told me she was still getting used to the school and that she would get to it.
A few weeks later another parent who I knew had a child with an IEP in the class mentioned to me that she had complained about the help her son was getting. The resource teacher was coming in and 'helping' the two of them during MATH rather than language arts time. Both these kids IEP's were for language arts. My daughter struggled a bit in math but this other kids did NOT and they were not getting the language arts help they needed. Her initial response was that was the time she had in her schedule and she couldn't come a different time. Seems the 5th grade teacher didn't even know until parent teacher conferences that my daughter even HAD an IEP. Everything was a struggle that year. Thankfully the next 3 years were great with someone who was wonderful.
Good Luck
