Re: CSE meeting in an hour on the phone
it is the meeting i have with the school every year about kryssy's placement for next year. it is a meeting with the special ed board, 2 of her teachers and others. they are so good at making me feel guilty for knowing my child and what she needs and yet every year it fails her and i feel worse that i did go along know very well what would happen. well this year the stupid guy at her school WITHOUT asking me first told kryssy to be at the meeting...umm no i say wither or not she is at the meeting. so yet again i told this jerk that fine have her at the meeting and if god forbid something happens with her emotional state because of things said at the meeting, I WILL MAKE sure that someone suffers the consequences

Re: CSE meeting in an hour on the phone
Did you ask for a parent member to be present? I'm a special education teacher and a lot of my parents request a parent member as another set of ears and as someone who understands their point of view and can often express concerns/ask questions without the emotions that I am sure you have about certain things that are suggested, etc.
Good luck today!

i did not have time for it. i am sick and was planning to be there today. then i got the flu, i am barley with it today to handle this and when i asked for it to be rescheduled i was told well if you do not do it now you will have to wait till May to do it so just do it on the phone. so no parent advocate will be there because advance notice was given. so i am doing this on the phone, which i HATE. and yet again made to feel guilty that i am not moving forward with her progress and holding her back. REALLY no i am just realistic about my daughters needs

Re: CSE meeting in an hour on the phone
You do not have to agree to anything you don't like. If you are not happy, the meeting can be tabled and you would meet again at a later date when you are feeling better.
eta. Good luck!

That is crazy that they "can't" find you a date to reschedule between now and May...I don't believe it for a second! Be firm with what you feel and remember you can always ask for the meeting to be adjorned and continued in the future when you can have an advocate present and be there in person (if you want to). I bet if you called the director of special ed. they would be able to "find" a date before May.

Re: CSE meeting in an hour on the phone
thanks for the info. i will keep it at the back on my mind. I am really at wits end with this school. last year they made me feel guilty that i was holding her back and not agreeing to her being in a collaborative classroom setting (she was always in a 15 :1 class setting) and now she is barley making it by without failing. she did fail her mid terms. 2 out of the 3. which a lot of it was because she was out sick. I was not made aware that she had mid terms by the teachers. No notice home no nothing. I again am going to push for a 1 on 1 with her. she will be so much better with one, but they fail her every year with that. they fail her in general. oh i have to go they should be calling any min. i will update when i get off with them.

I would ask for some accomodations to be added to her IEP, like a home-school communication book where the teacher reports anything important, like tests or reports, etc. Also, I would make sure that she has preferential seating and checking for understanding in her IEP as well (if she doesn't already). If the teachers and support staff want her to succeed in this setting, they need to add in some accomodations to assist her. Those would be easy to have added immediately for this school year.

I would adjourn it. Don't let them bully you. It's your right.

all good info thanks again. i am currently on a day report with her from her teachers as after a fight with them not returning phone calls and or emails to me. as per the Principal. i really want someone at her side to help her stay on track, she can and knows the work. just that she is very disorganized and has a tendency to drift off. so if she had someone to help her stay on task and organized that would solve a lot of it. she has 2 teachers in each classroom yet she is not getting the help she needs. but i am told she does not qualify for that. so they can not help out there. well then you are failing to provide with what my child needs. oh and it is after 1 and they still have not called
really I HATE THIS SCHOOL

Re: CSE meeting in an hour on the phone
Janet are you in NY?? I can't remember. In NY the law requires a parent member to be present or it's not a valid CSE meeting.

Re: CSE meeting in an hour on the phone
Good luck. I understand your frustration completely. Let me know if you ever need help with anything or have questions. Don't agree to anything you aren't sure about or aren't happy with. Its their job to work WITH you (sometimes they seem to forget that!).

Re: CSE meeting in an hour on the phone
I've been to so many meetings over the years and not a single time has the parent member spoken more than their name. So they are only as helpful as they want to be. I wouldn't adjourn a meeting based soley on a parent member. Of course if that's the law...

From my experience, I believe that they get around that by offering it in a formal letter when you are informed of the date and stating that you need to call if you wish to have one present...

Jump on the 8:1:1 band wagon. Discuss the past and repeated failure in the 15:1:1
