    Re: LEA Representative and IEP Meeting ?
    Posted by Sue on 10/04/08

    Thank you for your reply! Our state regs. require an LEA
    representative attend the IEP meeting. However, there isn't a
    definition/clarification regarding if this means the attending
    district or the resident district. I'll keep digging or make a
    phone call to the DE ;o)
