I have to tell you that I was talking to a woman employed by a Michigan

school district today and it was at the Intermediate School District level

and she said something I asked her to repeat. I told her I was writing it

down and then read it back to her to make sure that I had heard what she

said correctly.

In response to whether my daughter's IEP would be implemented as written if

we were moving to that district or whether we would need to do another IEP

before services could be started she said " If it is something we offer we

would implement her current IEP as written. If it is services we do not

provide then we would do another IEP and get you to agree to what we can

offer. "

Since my husband is petitioning the court to have my daughter have her ESY

services provided in Michigan during the summer I am interested in the

school district. As far as I could figure out, they do not offer hearing

impaired services during the summer. The only services offered are those

for severely and profoundly mentally retarded students but they guessed they

could place her in one of those classes.

Obviously an appropriate program is not available in this district for my

daughter.
