Services Are Not "Safe" Yet

I have been getting some info from parents that some case managers are stating to families that their services are "safe" for now, and as a result families are cancelling their due process hearings, in fact quite a few due process hearings have been cancelled since the injunction was put into place. You might want to reinstate the due process hearing if you can since the injunction has been lifted, contact AZEIP and find out what you need to do, feel free to send me the info you get and I will post it for other parents to see.

I would HIGHLY recommend that we go through with them anyway, I would like to see us officially document what has been happening. There is also the possibility that they could attempt to drop services again, especially since the injunction stopping them was lifted. It isn't clear if we would have to go through the whole process of sending in letters again, or how long it would take.

Personally, I would not believe anything without documentation, if someone tells you that your services will stay in place with out due process, ask them for how long and then get it in writing from them, if they won't give it to you in writing, then chances are pretty strong it is not official, if it is official and sanctioned, sending out a letter to you should not be a problem for them.
