Dear Paremata School,

I am writing to ask for further information on your policy 'Inclusion for Children with Special needs".

Could you please advise:
- how you determine which children fall within the scope of your policy
- what the monitoring consists of under the IEP process so for example are parents given more regular reports, included in conversations etc
- how you determine the effectiveness of your policy and is this reported to the Board of Trustees? If it is I would appreciated copies of any reports for the last 12 months.
- have you received any complaints from parents with children with special needs in relation to their inclusion at school, bullying or educational attainment and if so how many, what was the nature of the complaint and what was the resolution?

Yours faithfully,

Janet

Dear Paremata School,

Good afternoon,

I'm just following up that you have received this request as I didn't receive an acknowledgement?

Yours faithfully,

Janet

Dear Paremata School,

Good morning,

I’m sure you are aware of your obligations under the Official Information Act and with this request I haven’t even had the courtesy of an acknowledgement.

As this request is now overdue, can you please let me know when I will receive the information otherwise I will have no option other than to make a complaint to the Ombudsman.

Yours faithfully,

Janet

Dear Bryce Coleman,

Thank you for the update Bryce and I am aware that I sent this during the school holidays but was wanting to check re: an acknowledgement as I received one to my original request once school returned.

I assume you are intending extending the timeframe for this request?

Yours sincerely,

Janet

Dear Bryce Coleman,

Thanks for the quick response Bryce, can you please let me know when you will be able to provide the information?

Yours sincerely,

Janet
