My son is 12. I asked for an IEP evaluation for my child, the date of the hearing was set for the next week. The next day he was placed out of school and I was advised that there would not be a meeting until he was back in school. The hearing was held and I was called on my cell phone asking where I was. I informed them that I was told it would be held on another date, by the assistant principal. They said they had to hold it over the phone. He was denied. There could not have even been an in school evaluation done, because he was not in school. I was also advised that the reason I was asking for an IEP due to ADHD and CD (compulsive defient behavior) was not good enough for the eval and I should continue to get private help. He is on meds, but only for the last two months and is still being adjusted. The school now places him in OSS the very next day he returns to school (they say he can't sit in ISS so he is given OSS). His violations are minor, defiant behavior.
