Good morning. I am currently a senior associate in BugLaw, and I have applied to several trial attorney jobs in Chicago offices of federal agencies since the start of the pandemic. According to usajobs.gov, my applications to the DOJ and CFTC were “referred,” and my application to the SEC was received and my GS scale verified. But I haven’t received any updates on these applications in over a month. Does anyone here have any insights on these or on federal hiring generally? Thanks!

That's a lot of work for a student who won't be attending your school. Is the charter school within your district or not? I would be confused too, and frustrated. I'm sorry you're dealing with this.
May your sped director want all the paperwork to be in order prior to the child being transferred to a new school? Maybe the district has been audited in the past and found non-compliant with paperwork? just a guess obviously. Our previous sped director was militant, but she totally backed the social workers and psychs...always.
Coach
I honestly don’t usually know what grades I’ll be servicing until the last day of school and that’s beyond annoying! I think one of the worst things that happens every year is that we have to be in school until the last regents exam for high school but I teach elementary and we are full day circus wranglers until that last day but high school teachers are done weeks before and just have to proctor and grade finals. It’s SO annoying like…. It’s fine, they’re fine they can do one extra day at the end of June to proctor a test I don’t need to corral my monkeys that day.
Wow!! That is very frustrating. I do think they should change that for elementary schools! It feels like at our school, kids are just cleaning the last 2 weeks 😂
How are you supposed to conduct the review if no one has any experience with him? What exact information are they providing you? Did the charter school give any information? Why did the director choose your school? Are you a model inclusion school?
All super great questions. Apparently, the child lives within the boundaries of a special class that is at our school this year but that is being moved to another school next year. Either way, the student won’t be attending our school. The information from the charter school is very limited. Apparently, they were planning on conducting new testing for this student a few months ago before this student stopped attending. But now the 3 year is due and our district is left with completing it. It’s in situations like these that I think we should just let the 3 year lapse and have the new school do it in the fall when they can meet the student. But that’s just me.
I have been through something like this- I had to evaluate a student who attends a private school. The school is in our town, so the law is that the public school in the town where the school is located has to conduct the evaluation. Even though the child attended the private school and LIVED out of state! We thought that the school district where the child LIVES should be responsible for evaluating, but according to the laws, we had to do it. Then, we had to write a proposed plan- which the private school could choose to follow or not- and it would only be upheld if the child went to school in her home district public school- which was not happening- so it was a ton if work for nothing, really. And it was so time consuming- going to the private school to evaluate her and observe her overall functioning in the classroom, scoring the testing, writing reports, holding the meeting… I hope I don’t have to do it again anytime soon!
Man! Situations like this should not happen… I can’t believe you had to do this even though the student didn’t even live in the state where you’re located! Insane! This reminds me of some testing I’ve had to conduct for students applying for a scholarship for kids who choose to attend private schools but qualify for special education services. It just feels like extra work. 😞
His home school?
Not the home school necessarily , but the school that houses the program he would have attended this year had they attended with our district. I found that out today. But I would think they would contact the school he’ll be going to next year to do the testing..
The timeline does not stop in NC.
I had the same experience, although not that rushed! It was because the student lived within your district boundaries that the charter school has the iep created, even down to the minutes served daily. The gen ed teacher and the Headmaster were in attendance with all of our team. The first meeting was to inform and answer questions, then the next meeting was with parent, also. The final meeting had everyone in attendance and we set forth a plan, just as if the student were coming to our district.
