We are ’slowly’ ceding our parental rights’. I think in a very small way you won one for our team tho’ Missy…and I’m proud of you.

I won't go into how outraged I am on your behalf--everyone else has done so very well. Big hugs to you. Good for you, Lissa!

That is a common misconception, even among school staff. You are signing that you showed up while it was being discussed. You can call a new IEP any time you wish, not just once a year. If they keep screwing it up and you are not happy, call, call again. I know it's a pain but eventually they will get tired of multiple meetings and probably give in. Been there, sista.
