ABSTRACT
The meeting took place on June 18, 1998, at the Daybreak School, which is a school used in the district specifically for special-education purposes (see Appendix G for a full transcript of this meeting), I reviewed the case report I wrote on Vicky’s progress as a reader and writer over the time I worked with her and gave a copy of it to June. I planned on presenting this report at the CSE meeting. I gave the report to June a week earlier and went over Vicky’s strengths and growth as a reader and writer. June told me she would share the report with Lester. I asked Lester what he thought of the report and he told me, “you doin’ real good with her. She just need to concentrate and put her mind to it and stop tryin’ to act so grown. When I tell her she can’t go out after she school, she gotta do her homework, she gotta listen to me.” Like June, Lester did not think Vicky should be placed in a special-education class.
