I’m a little confused as to why no one knew this was going on.... I’m a parent of an IEP child in that classroom. Letters were sent out both times there were long term absences. We were formally notified twice by letter from the director of special needs (our child came home with a letter in their folder from school) . Once in October and once in March. The letters suggested calling IEP meetings to assess impact of teacher absences and offered “compensatory” services. My husband and I called our IEP meetings to make sure our child was getting services they needed. The situation was not ideal at all but we didn’t know if there was an illness with the teacher or an illness in her family. Life happens and it’s unfortunate, but teachers are people too. My husband and I were aware and notified of every absence (by the regular educator) and there was a substitute in the classroom and there was always a TA there as well. Our IEP team has done an amazing job this year in our eyes and the special education department has been amazing considering the circumstances.
