There is also something about the discipline file not being part of the cume
file if I remember what my son's elementary teacher told me. He said, that
they keep it separate because they have the option to not show it to schools
or let it be part of his after high school years.

Don't quote me but I believe that was what he told me. I know that when
my oldest went from elementary to Jr/Sr high he really needed the way the principal handled his discipline to go to the new school. But because the old principal decided only to share that he could be a handful, but was a good kid. When he got in trouble it took a while for the new disciplinarian to learn
what worked. I had to train him fast.

Now I do have one other thing. On the things they would not include.

Write the list. Then go to the meeting and say we need to go over this
list one at a time again. I still am not in agreement to these facts,
I want to try and work out a compromise if you don't like my thoughts.

If they still wont budge and you chose to sign it like it is. You can
I believe do this.


Add a decending opinion to the IEP. And I definately would. That would
just be going back home and writing a letter saying.

I am writing a decending opinion to ___________ IEP for these matters.

THen state what you disagree with.

Then you have the ammunition if there are any problems, or you need to
try and change the IEP again this year.

And they should ask if anyone wants to put in a descending opinion,
if not just state you will be bring a descending opinion back to add to
the IEP.
