Unfortunately we have again been told that sm 4 I is dead. Even as district is recommending it. Now were supposed to believe that there will be some secret inclusion cohorts... which will all be revealed in good time. This all just whittles away at least restrictive environment. Most at risk are 8th grade risers. The district doesnt even know or refused to admit that about half of the high schools have no inclusion for SM4 students. If you are rising 8th grader you should make sure you have a transition plan for your riser. In the transition plan list the classes is your student will take as a 9th grader. Otherwise you may well find your kid at Fred Meyer sorting cheese. Thats no joke. ItSA reality if your kid is SM 4. Sent from my Windows Phone ________________________________________ From: Mary V.

We have had so much difficulty getting them to realize what kinds of quandaries parents are dealing with and the need for far better official communication about program descriptions, locations and linked programs.

We have the choice to declare his address in the Mercer area, where we see no 4i programs. Does anyone have insight into this? We can also use Washington area address, and have had the following schools recommended: Stevens Thurgood Marshall John Muir I would appreciate any insight the group has to offer on the special ed and general ed programs at these schools, as well as thoughts about how to get assigned to one of them (or another outstanding school in another reference area) using the SPSD assignment process, which seems completely random and scary to me. Our boy is pretty verbal and typically developing cognitively, but has medical issues as well as motor, social and adaptive delays with no specific diagnosis. Feel free to message me privately if you like.
