Thank you, I will revise my parents concerns letter. I always ask that it be included in its entirety in the IEP. We did agree to do a complete evaluation to see where his needs are. We will meet again when those are done. Thank you for the advice.

Thank you for your response. I guess I should have explained this a little better. 
I requested the IEP meeting, we set a date for Jan.3 . I am preparing for an IEP meeting. At no point did anyone tell me it wasn’t an IEP meeting. It wasn’t until the Jan. 11 staffing meeting that the special education director said the meeting on the 3rd was also a staffing meeting. They knew I had several complaints I wanted resolved. I believe they only changed the meeting type to avoid any complaints with the state. As far as meaningful participation, the special Ed teacher told me, We as educators don’t do that. When I suggested that my son receive his work in a different format. The English teacher told me straight out that he will be doing the same work as the other students. No consideration what so ever to anything I suggested. I have been doing IEP meetings for 12 years and have never been so disrespected by team members. I have never had a district not provide everything they were supposed to. I even had to request the finished copy of his IEP as I only had the draft. It was drafted in September, I asked for it the middle of December. I am sorry if it sounds like I am complaining, but I have never had to deal with this before. 

Hello everyone,

I am new here, so I apologize if this is not in the correct forum. I requested an IEP meeting in writing with the reasons why I wanted to meet.The IEP meeting was Scheduled for Jan.3, 2023. 
I didn’t receive a notice of meeting but I wasn’t concerned due to the holiday break. I attend this meeting which included the IEP team to discuss the struggles my son is having academically. This meeting got really bad, really fast! We agreed to reconvene at a later date. I requested that the superintendent and director of special education also attend.  We reconvene in a “staffing”meeting on Jan. 11, 2023 with the team and the administration that I requested. This meeting went much better, however they informed me that the meeting on Jan. 3rd was a staffing meeting and not an IEP meeting. Which walked all over our procedural rights. In the first meeting , there was no notice of meeting, they didn’t consider any of the input I gave, no PWN plus several other things.  I have reached out to administration to resolve this but have not heard back yet. Any suggestions how to handle this? Thank you in advance for any help.
