Emergency ARD -- length of time

[Guest guest]

Everyone:

Posting for a friend. Her daughter was previously in special education in the

district she lives. She removed her 3 years ago for private education. Things

happened, they can't do that anymore, she is re-enrolled back at the same

district. The same district is enrolling her in regular education classes.

This child has always been in special education. Her daughter does not have the

ability to go from class-to-class without assistance. The school district said

they have to " reassess " her being special education. My friend cannot her teen

on day 1 of school without accommodations being made. She is waiting for an ARD

date which is supposedly 60 days after they test her but they haven't even set a

date for testing yet.

Questions:

1) Don't they have to honor the IEP and support staff (1:1 helper) of the

private facility until testing is done and the ARD has taken place at which time

she can agree or disagree?

2) If she calls an emergency ARD meeting, what is the length of time does the

school have to stall to put this parent off. She cannot send her child to school

with this arrangement.

3) She has a meeting with the counselor in the morning, not an official ARD

meeting. I suggested writing a letter to request an emergency ARD because of

the situation. But we could not find any specific time length they could have

to meet (i.e., within days, wihtin a week, etc/).

Thanks for your help.
