If you believe something is wrong with an IEP and you're not getting any help from the school district, you can call VESID, a division of State Ed at (681) 884-8530 They are very helpful.

First you should call PPS and discuss it with an Assistant Director or the Director. If that doesn't work contact the Superintendant then the BOE, and then finally exhausting all that contact VESID. You could also contact SEPTA, they can be very helpful. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteYour School Taxes are going up once again Thanks Mainly to our Greedy Teachers Union.
ReplyDeleteOur new School Budget is going up almost 3%.
of the $ 3,750,000 increase over $ 1,900,000 of it (over 55% ) is for teachers raises.
Our POB Teachers Union cares nothing about our schools or childern unlike Roslyns Teachers union that voted to have a 1 year freeze of salaries to help the financial burden of that town and to prevent cuts to children services.
I guess the teachers only care how to spend their raises over their Summer vacation while the rest of us work.
For the many parents who find the school district difficult to deal with even when they talk to everybody under the sun and may even leave CSE meetings in tears, this was great information. Thanks Stefanie!

ReplyDeleteAre you living in a dream world? Everyone knows the CSE process here is very adversarial. The system shouldn't have to be "bucked" by anyone.
PPS tries to wear everyone down so you'd rather just provide help to your kid on your own than deal with them. Call VESID. They'll help you faster than the superintendent.
SEPTA means well but they are not about to rock any boats for anyone's kid. Parents know that you're on your own and need to find their own support in the form of an advocate, lawyer or VESID. At least VESID is free.
