Third grader Joseph Smith’s parents want to increase the amount of time he spends in general education classes. Right now, he goes to art and music with his third grade peers, two days a week each. His parents also want him to receive all of his academic instruction in third grade general education classes. His current academic skills are below the first grade level. This has created a conflict with the school administration and prompted a call for an IEP meeting. Your educational team will have to plan how to resolve this issue before legal professionals become involved.
