Comments on: New Attack on IEP Teams http://www.edwize.org/new-attack-on-iep-teams Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:46:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: JohnL http://www.edwize.org/new-attack-on-iep-teams/comment-page-1#comment-7093 JohnL Thu, 29 Jun 2006 20:01:04 +0000 http://edwize.org/new-attack-on-iep-teams#comment-7093 Thanks for the reply and the link. On the NYSED site I found a document with a bullet to which I think you must be referring. It reads: <blockquote>Amend sections 4302, 4355, 4402 and 4410 of the Education Law to authorize the Commissioner to adopt regulations to the extent necessary to comply with IDEA federal regulations for a parent and school district to reach an agreement that the attendance of a committee on special education (CSE) member is not necessary or may be excused from a meeting, or that a change may be made to an individualized education program (IEP) after the annual review meeting without convening a meeting or that the three-year reevaluation of the student is not necessary.</blockquote> Is that the same as the concern you raised? Is it a general exclusion from the IEP meeting? I wonder if the proposed change is in line with the IDEA "tb-iep-meetings.pdf" that I discussed over on <a href="http://TeachEffectively.com/2006/06/18/teacherless-ieps/" rel="nofollow">Teach Effectively</a>. IDEA has provisions for parents and schools to agree mutually that someone not have to attend the entire meeting. Could that be it? If it's something outside those U.S. ED rules, I suspect someone will need to ask for clarification and, if the clarification is inadequate, pursue legal correction. It's good to have folks alert to these potential problems. Thanks for the reply and the link. On the NYSED site I found a document with a bullet to which I think you must be referring. It reads:

If it’s something outside those U.S. ED rules, I suspect someone will need to ask for clarification and, if the clarification is inadequate, pursue legal correction.

It’s good to have folks alert to these potential problems.
