I’m located in Buchanan County VA (Southwest Virginia) I relocated here from Maryland 8 years ago and I’m completely new to the school system here as when I moved here my children were grown and my grandchildren are in the Elementary faze of their school careers. I’m familiar with the team meeting process for individual’s transitioning from school into adult services. I’m not familiar with the beginning of the IEP process. Here it seems that they contact you the week before the deadline to schedule the meeting for one day the week of the deadline then at the end of the meeting they expect you to sign acceptance of the IEP and you get your copy and the PWN before you leave the room. It’s like sitting in a spinning office chair your in and out …. Not impressed and not happy suggestions on how to urge much needed changes to make this process smoother and more efficient and effective for everyone without being confrontational or aggressive causing problems?
