I’m pretty sure you can call the shots on this one.

Thanks--you are correct about that, I learned. They did reschedule it and asked if it worked for us--said they'd be "out of compliance" (with the deadline) if we went past that day, but that it was OK, we just had to approve it. It was actually during our scheduled appointment with our marriage counselor, and 6 months ago, while still in the thick of transference, I wouldn't have wanted to reschedule him (especially since we're spacing out sessions). But I'm fine doing that in this case (it was likely to be a termination session anyway...so no real rush on that).
The main reason I didn't think they could change it, is a couple years ago (while D was in pre-K), we got the date of the IEP meeting months in advance. It was a day that she was off school, so we'd have to bring her with us. ...And it was her birthday. I requested multiple times for them to change the date, but they kept saying they couldn't so we just dealt with it (I probably should have pushed it more...). This is a different school though (but same county), and they seem more willing to work with us.
