The most technical interpretation of the law is that they are not compelled to anything until a "pattern" of suspensions (usually considered 3) or the 10th day of suspension.

However, if they are not following the IEP, start writing letters with you concerns and go up the chain of command.

A lot of folks on the internet will advocate skipping steps or coming in with all guns blazing. However, that really does not work.... If I get a letter on something that my employees have not had a chance to handle, I give the letter to the employee and say "handle it."

If I get a letter that shows my employee had a chance to handle something, but did not, you better believe that I will handle it... both your student and my employee.

If it does need to get nasty, you have all the letters that show you tried to resolve in good faith... that prevents any chance that you can be painted as the bad guy.

Also, keep in mind that every semester, you are going to need to re-introduce yourself to any potential new staff. We share IEP accomodations, but a new teacher with 24 IEP and 504s in a mailbox at the start of the year will miss something.

I completely agree with you on the road to take the problem was the teacher was in on the IEP meeting just a few weeks prior to this she was even giving ideas to help on this situation so she has no excuses to fall back on.

I agree with Dr. Eric and you mom. But as the Dr. pointed out, the teacher has a stack of IEPs and we have just one concern our child(ren). I would, and have, made notes about the incident and questions and possible solutions. I've brought it to the teacher, assistant principal, principal, SPED and disciplinary dean. If it's a "we'll discuss it with the teacher" answer, assume they will follow through and see if it improves. If it doesn't improve or is repeated, document it again and follow through again including the paperwork from the first incident. If necessary, school districts have ombudsman that mediate between parents and schools. Just my experience, hope I haven't made it seem like an insurmountible mountain.
