[QUOTE="klmno, post: 552134, member: 3699"] He's already met the requirements for the standard diploma by getting the other type of electives in fine arts & tech classes. He was only going the foreign language class to shoot for the advanced diploma. The iep he came in with had no accommodations for memory issues because it wasn't an issue in the classes he took last year, however, it still stated those problems in the iep, as well as the IEP he had in Department of Juvenile Justice which ran until April of this year. (That IEP from Department of Juvenile Justice did have accommodations- minor because he was in Department of Juvenile Justice but still) Also, it came out in his evaluation which is only about 1 year old or so. No one has propposed re-testing him. This sd only wanted to pay attnetion to previous behavior issues and completely ignored the memory issues and perfectionist/crash tendencies. This is one reason I refused to sign the draft iep they had written. They are approaching this the way the "old" sd jursidiction did- the one E was in when I first came here some years ago. Yes, that got worked out but it took months or around a year. We don't have that kind of time. They are on a 4x4 block schedule here and started school 4 weeks ago at this point- that means it's the equivalent of almost 1/2 a typical school year. (4 classes per semester for 4 full credits each semester.) They didn't have an iep mtg until last week- 3 1/2 weeks into this and now are pressuring me to agree to what they proposed this past Thurs- like I'm holding things up. I had been on the phone since the second week of school started asking why an iep mtg hadn't been scheduled and they admitted they dropped the ball. IOW- they will stand fast knowing it holds things up to the point where there is no choice. We're a lot more worried about his gpa as a result of this than the sat. He scored well enough on English last time to get into a mediocre college and from what we've been told, a lot of the math comes from algebra 2. He's taking that class now and doing very well in that class so we expect that grade to up on the next sat. I'll dig thru his IEP from the last sd again and see if I can find anything at all to help. They did mention in it that he was striving for the advanced diploma and wanted to go to college and appeared to have overcome previous problems. That''s why this is difficult- we had all discussed that there would be no pressure and if he needed to get a standard diploma there's nothing wrong with that. [/QUOTE]
