MiMi 4under3 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) I recently submitted a letter of intent. Today, I received the IHIP form along with this statement from the Superintendent: "I will ask Dr. John Smith, the principal of Your Local High School, to meet with you to review both the implementation and assessment of the education plan for DD." and "Dr. John Smith may be reached at (123) 456-7890. Please contact his office to arrange a meeting as soon as possible." Please, help me in wording a response! I want to sound polite, but also get across the point that I will not meet with the principal. Thank you in advance!! :) :) :) ETA: This is in NEW YORK Edited October 27, 2016 by MiMi 4under3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanaqui Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 If that's required in NYS, somebody better tell the homeschool office here in NYC! I don't know how to tell them to eff off (politely) but it's not a legal requirement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how to tell them to eff off (politely) but it's not a legal requirement. Ok, thank you. I re-read the regulations even though I already knew this wasn't required. Just needed another homeschooler to back me up. :thumbup1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I wouldn't go out of your way to be combative, but I'd just write back and say thank you for their interest, but you've read the regulations, you know it's not required, you won't be needing the principal's assistance. And then attach a copy of the regulations. And maybe tell your statewide group that this happened. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 If it was an email, I might write back, " Thank you for the offer, but we don't need any asssistance at this time." If it was paper mail, I would ignore it. He is basically counting on you to reach out to Dr. Smith. Just don't. Dr. Smith will probably inform him of the law. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the wording I was looking for. :hurray: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
