Ouch, this sounds awful! (1) always go with a friend who can support you! (2) audio record any meeting (3) file a report through an appeal procedure to the State Education Department (4) formally request Mediation that is free and available through a local agency (5) request in writing an Independent Individual Evaluation paid for by the school district (6) summarize what is happening and send copies to the Superintendent and to every Board of Education member requesting a meeting

Make sure your send your letter of parent concerns (including the behavior/FBA situation, anxiety challenges) in advance of the upcoming meeting. Did the school state in the PWN why they felt they didn't need to conduct an FBA? Did the PWN state that the people who attended that meeting initially approved the request for the FBA, but the district later stated those individuals didn't have the authority to make that decision? Who represented the LEA in the meeting in which the FBA request was denied? If the teacher previously agreed to providing a more detailed communication log, but now says it's unnecessary, perhaps she's getting pushback from administration? Have you talked with the principal or a special education case manager?
