Hope for the best, but expect a cookie-cutter GIEP with no PLEP -- from what I hear that's pretty standard for PA districts. I think most parents just sign it because they think their child won't get any services otherwise. If you're not satisfied with the plan (e.g., vague, no measurable goals, no PLEP, etc.) tell the team (nicely ;)why you can't approve the plan. You might want to give examples of changes on the GIEP that you *would* approve -- the trick is to feel them out and see if they'd be open to hearing your suggestions.
