Anyone want to better understand grievance options when a school doesn't follow an IEP and deliver FAPE? How to file a due process complaint or how to file a State complaint? Any interest? #FAPE #IEP #dyslexia #Literacy #Publicschool #ADHD #education
It isn't about the reporting schools do on IEP goals, get the data to support their BS. Stop trusting the very broken educational system. Now.
Dear SB Members, If you don't do "exit interviews" when teachers leave, your lies about why they leave aren't going to be believed. Teachers are leaving because you are failing to do your job. Teachers, kids, & families are being destroyed under your watch. #Votethemout
If something sounds "off", trust your gut, it is. Ask ?'s, gather data & move forward. We can't fix this broken, corrupt system, but you can get FAPE for your child! Work as collaboratively as possible & document to prepare for court! It's a jungle out there 🦁🐯🐻#NeverIEPAlone
"They don’t lie to you because the truth will hurt your feelings. They lie to you because the truth might provoke you to make choices that won’t serve their interest " Recap everything in an email. Hope for the best, but prepare for court. It's a jungle out there. 🦁🐯🐻
Ask questions! Filing due process complaints is not the same as attending and prevailing at hearings. We are getting calls from parents feeling they have been duped. Don't be afraid to ask for references when you hire someone to represent you and your child. #NeverIEPAlone
🎯 Giving the taxpayers a high level recap, rather than allowing review of a complete budget is PR. This works and continues to fail kids and families because voters believe the BS. Watch what they do, not what they say. #NeverIEPAlone

Parents, "wait and see" is allowing more instructional failure. MTSS/RTI can be concurrent with evals. Ask for evaluations in writing, that starts the Federal timeline for compliance. Polite, but firm. Always in writing. #NeverIEPAlone
States pay State agencies to defend the States , they should be defending students without voices or resources. These peeps are $ incentivized to fix nothing. Only If parents start understanding this & become vocal, will something will be done to correct the #brokensystem
When you can't see a complete budget in your district, you know there are shenanigans. Constant complaints from teachers that can't get what they need, yet those legal budgets keep growing. Folks, it isn't really about education. Don't believe what they say, watch what they do.

🛑Not #FAPE. This system, as it is currently being implemented, is picking winners & losers. They have all of the💰& resources in addition to the media that parrots their narrative. The long game is working for the politicians and those making 💰. Trusting them is dangerous.
Enrollment in public schools in Florida is decreasing, some say due to vouchers. Do better public schools & kids won't exit. Teach reading with curriculum that is effective for all students, implement IEP's with fidelity. Stop perpetuating lies to parents. #FAPE #NeverIEPAlone
You cant believe what School Board say from the Dias. Watch how they vote and how they actually behave. Lot's of 🚬& 🪞instead of leadership. School Board seats are training grounds for higher office, they don't really care about teaching kids to read. Hard to believe, but 🎯
Direct instruction it isn't about what curriculum the district uses for all students, it's about what your child needs to receive FAPE. They know the law, they count on being able to intimidate you. Define present levels & write SMART goals. Monitor progress like it's your job.
With all of the "teacher shortage" narrative, do any of your districts use exit interviews to find out why the teachers are exiting? Most districts don't so they can create their own version rather than fix what's broken. #NeverIEPAlone
No amount of SEL will make up for the failure to teach children how to read, write and do math. It would be cheaper to fix the existing problem than to pour money into a solution to pretend to fix your self imposed failure.
Buy it. Watch it. Share it. Stop believing the lies. TY to all of the lit warriors. @ehanford @natwexler @FaithBorkowsky @1in5advocacy @LitMomsNC @Debra_Tisler @educator4ever88 @missypurcell1 @SPEDAction thetruthaboutreading.com
Pay attention to present levels. Be detailed and accurate and ask for work samples and data. If you disagree with a "team decision" get it in the notes. If they refuse your request, ask for a PWN. Districts stopping at nothing to protect the broken system. #NeverIEPAlone #IYNYN

@IEPforParents @1in5advocacy @Moms4Liberty This has nothing to do with M4L, but in our District, the grassroots Conservatives got 2 members elected who ran on listening to parents, etc. We found that once they go to TASB training, they get their brain sucked & become like the rest.

If America’s politicians wanted to eliminate poverty, violence, and crime then they’d be doing anything and everything to eradicate illiteracy—they’re not. Why? “The link between academic failure and delinquency, violence and crime is welded to reading failure.” @TheJusticeDept
@1in5advocacy @tasbnews @Kress_Sandy @KendallGPace Public schools are BIG revenue generators that evil corporations and their C suite executives love to exploit. Sort of like the opioid crisis, but more victims after decades of public schools buying crap consultation and curriculums from them.
@1in5advocacy I actually do know a billionaire philanthropist who I work for who would probably be interested.
Let me examine your budget with your chief finance officer for an hour and I will reveal your true district strategic plan. How does your expenditure reflect your commitment to boost the academic outcomes for your most struggling students/schools?
I’ve said it so many times over the last ten years that I’m left to believe that the obfuscation and absolute refusal to reform by Colleges of Ed is one hundred percent intentional — what other explanation is there? Illiteracy is one of the government’s most powerful tools to…
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Colleges of ed are the root of the problem.
From 2011-2021 there’s been an increase of over 1 million students with a disability. What we are doing is NOT working. Who’s the “slow learner” in this scenario? 🤨🧐
The bureaucracy has won. The kids have lost. The game is over. Turn off the lights. Lock the doors. It has been a brutal and grueling road to this conclusion, but I am certain of it. The kids are always going to lose. Always. Over the course of twenty-three years and more than…
@davidzweig @d_tisler @karenvaites There’s no enforced compliance or spending accountability for IDEA. LEAs self-report to the SEA, SEA transmits the LEAs unaudited data to U.S. DOE.

@swalker_7 Will you investigate the inappropriate process the former majority took in redistricting?
@Moms4FAPE @alexanderrusso @ehanford No one reports on it that way no one knows. Then 🇺🇸 districts keep asking for more money 💰 saying Special Education isn’t funded. 💨🪞

I’d love to see some citizen journalism from inside IEP meetings, the Education Iron Triangle would lose their sh*t. @IEPforParents @alexanderrusso
I hope people around the world engage in citizen journalism, so we know what’s truly happening and we get real-time, on-the-ground coverage!
Good question for boards of education to ask superintendent candidates— “What changes have you made that led to significant improvements in the academic performance of your disadvantaged students?” Many will not ask that question because they are not interested in the answer.
