[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 506199"] Wow. If there is no "documentation" of the one incident and they did not send a notice of suspension, your son was not suspended. Federal law stipulates that parents MUST be given written documentation of suspensions. It has to tell why and when the suspension is to occur. If the IEP is incorrect, you need to specify what is wrong with it on the approval form they are supposed to have you sign before they can implement it. Can you give you mom legal "powers" to deal with the school on your son's behalf? That way they HAVE to include her and listen to her and SHE can act as "parent" legally. You might want to consult a lawyer about that, at least I would. Definitely make them correct EVERY mistake and object to the wording and EVERYTHING else they have wrong. With the example you gave about the Juvenile whatever and the way they changed the wording, ask them for their written proof he ever attended there. Do NOT sign ANYTHING at the meeting. If they try to talk you into it or con you into it, tell them you will sign AFTER you have the FINAL copy and have had a chance to read through it THOROUGHLY. Did they determine his behavior during the non-existant incident was a manifestation of his disability? If they did, "request a complete Functional Behavioral Assessment" in writing AT that IEP meeting. If it was, they need to do an FBA and come up with a Positive Behavior plan to address the "on-going behavior issues" AT that school. It sounds like you are up against the same type of situation I was in last year and Buddy is going through NOW. If you get a chance, read through some of those posts. Also, please DO check out WrightsLaw. It is a whole website that tells you most everything you want to know about Special Education law. I would also highly recommend you find an advocate to go to the meeting with you AND your mom. You can call your state Department of Education and ask them for names of advocates. You need one ASAP!!
