I guess our main concern is that since she will be in a developmental preschool, that she will automatically be put in special education instead of general ed if we excuse the general ed teacher from the meeting. 

We received the invite for our three year old daughter's initial IEP into developmental preschool. They are requesting that we excuse the general education teacher from the meeting "because the attendance of the general educator is not necessary because the student is not and will not be participating in the general education environment." I am wondering what the positives and negatives of excusing the teacher would be, and if we excuse the teacher for this meeting, would they be excused from future meetings as well?
