My daughter is a homebound student(not home/hospital). Qualifies under multiple disabilities and requires full assistance in all goals outlined in her IEP.
We have had to remain virtual since March of 2020 due to Covid, despite easing of restrictions and our other kids returning full time in person.
The push back by the district to provide accommodations to homebound students is that we are electing to remain virtual(their words). We have not elected virtual and have been fighting to have in person services resume. They have citied Covid policies and health and safety preventing district staff from entering a non-district controlled environment and that the instructional delivery model for all homebound students is virtual.
I have filed 2 formal complaints of discrimination on the instructional delivery model with the superintendent and deputy superintendent, they have both been ignored despite the requirements of investigation under the districts non-discrimination policies and proceedures. They are even going as far as having all questions asked of IEP team members only answered by the Special Education supervisor.
Has anyone had this issue of a district forcing a change in placement by withholding services under policies they cannot produce.
