Pam the best piece of advice our advocate ever gave us and I can't remember if I've told you before was to have an agenda. they usually have one for them to hand out. Well as they were handing/passing out theirs I went oh by the way here is ours. And this is what we will be going by FIRST. then I nailed them with copies of everytest highlighted the points that proved why we needed XY and Z. and I hit them with so much information that by the time they needed to be done we never made it to their agenda. That was pretty much the last meeting I needed to go to. All the little ones have been for the 3 year testing reports and other than the one dingbat no issues. I have found a few things over the course of the year that just need tweaking. But I have to say it's been the easiest year. So there will be light at theend of the tunnel. Hang in there.
