Yes, she didn't know. She seemed to suggest they didn't have the paperwork. But I know X did drop off both reports at the school; I think I was with him at the time. I emailed him to double check, but there was no effort for him to hide her AS or LD's. He talked to the ESE Coordinator for that school, etc. I had a meeting with the ESE staff, and they also requested to receive all medical records and everything for her at that time.
She did say they were sending an evaluation form home with D9 today, so I'm hoping that might be the evaluation by the Ph.d. that they do.
I would never pull the principal in as a witness. She's such a dork. She was suggesting b/c D9 is so enthusiastic about learning (really everything) that she might not need ESE. As if an enthusiastic personality would make up for ESE! She was telling me that in the 80's when she was working the kids that needed ESE all got it, but it's not like that anymore b/c of federal regulations.
I would appreciate it if before she had called me she at least knew the bare bones info re: D9....but she didn't.
I know I do feel that the D hearing, may be the last chance for me to get some resolution about D9's school sitch. I have complete confidence in her 2 teachers this year, they give her extra help, give her extra time, change her grades, I think they are almost as good as her receiving actual ESE. The kids in her class help her out all the time too. But I can't count on her to have wonderful teachers every single year, and she really does need ESE, so I was putting the time limit on it of 12 months. The principal says they take 9 to 18 months, so giving them one year should be doable.
