RE: Emergency ARD -- length of time

[Guest guest]

I don’t believe the school has to go by what was being done at the private facility. If there were IEPs in place, it would surprise me to learn

that those are not being followed.

There should be an ARD as soon as possible to determine the appropriate placement. The ARD needs to be scheduled at a mutually agreeable time. I

would get on the phone with the special education department as soon as possible.

Chris:There was an IEP in place at the private facility; it was a school for kids with autism (the school is TEA recognized).  I'll send this on.  I know that if you transfer from another state or another school district even within the state of Texas, they have to honor what the child had, and then discuss changing things (which they always do).  But we did not know if being in a private facility changed this.  This mother works.  This teen cannot sit at home because she does not have a situation where she is safe at school.  I told her she may need to hire herself an advocate because this could get tricky with the public school/private school/back at public school again.  Thanks for responding on a Sunday.  Hilda From: Texas-Autism-Advocacy [mailto:Texas-Autism-Advocacy ] On Behalf Of SchulzSent: Sunday, August 26, 2012 12:11 PMTo: 'Texas-Autism-Advocacy 'Subject: RE: Emergency ARD -- length of time I don’t believe the school has to go by what was being done at the private facility.

Chris: Let me add that this student does not have autism, but the school for autism took in kids with other developmental disabilities, too.   Thank you.

I think the similar services rule applies when the transfer occurs during the same school year. However, that does not relieve the district of the obligation

to place the child in the most appropriate setting until the school figures out any new IEPs or evaluations. The one part of this that bugs me is the extent of the school district’s involvement with this child while she was away at private school and whether

they had any part in providing evaluations or development of IEPs. She still lived within the district boundaries, I presume.

Regardless, I would start requesting an ARD at 7 am Monday.

I thought the school had 10 days. Write your concerns in a letter addressed to

director of sped, requesting temporary ARD. Send it as PDF in email and cc

diagnostician of school, principal and teacher. You should get a response

quickly.
