The school system seems to win every time my family and I have a dispute with them over an IEP or other issue. They indimidate us at IEPs with their knowledge and authority. I cannot imagine how they would use their power to dominate us if they had the additional power to unilaterally deny every request and deny unilaterally every service to our 4 year old autistic daughter. This is a power they should not have. Just say no to the Virginia school system. I really could care less if the school system is within Federal guidelines or not.
