since we have to file this Services Plan, I have been asking for guidance in how to write it. everyone quotes the state law to me, but know one gives a clear guideline as to contents. “it should be similar to the IEP”…. great… is there a form for that? The state tells me I should get guidance from the school, the school says call the state. I am so frustrated. let’s see if we can accomplish something with this today. Tweet #fighting4answrs
So earlier today, I asked the superintendent and two other people from outside the district what language and information the Service Plan requires. The Superintendent told me to ask my wife. (my wife is a special education teacher who has never seen a service plan for an IEP that is not academic in nature. Our son’s is for behaviors related to his severe ADHD and Pediatric Bipolar.) The staffer at our state Department of Public Instruction told me to ask the superintendent. The staffer from our state Pathfinder group told me that it is something that the superintendent and staff from the school should help us write, and gave me the number for a different individual within the Department of Public Instruction to ask. So frustrated. My wife says that we don’t need one. The Superintendent says that we do. Friday is the last day of school for this
So since the impasse was reached at our facilitated IEP meeting, we are home schooling him because we don’t think that it is right for the school district to deny him the chance to try his home school before shipping him off to a school in another district that is 58 miles away. They have asked for something called a Service Plan. Trouble is, I have no idea what goes in the service plan. I sent an email requesting more information, but they have not yet responded. If I don’t respond to immediate requests for information, I am the bad guy. They can take all the time in the world. grrr… so frustrating. Tweet #fighting4answrs
