school issues

[Guest guest]

Hi I'm new to the group...My 13 y/o son w/OCD,ADHD has a 504 in

place but it is not being followed...the 504 was set up last year...I

asked for academic testing & an IEP this year...the Sp ed dept.

notified me of a " Referral Meeting " on Monday the 18th...does anyone

know how the education dept works in Maine?? It seems silly to me to

have a referral meeting when we already know he has learning

disabilities...which is the reason for the 504...Last year he finished

the 7th grade with 5 F's...I want him to have a productive year this

year & I am trying to get the school teacher etc on the same page but

so far no luck...teachers he has this year haven't answered two e-

mails I sent them so far...All suggestion appreciated!!
