Shannon, I didn't know you were a sped, either! What grades do you teach? I guess it isn't so much my district's view of sped as much as the way things have been done there for a long time. For instance, I don't do any pushing into regular ed classes. The only thing I do is pull the kids out for resource room, which leaves me totally isolated from what they're doing in their classes. I tried to talk to my coworker, who has worked in that school for a long time, about the benefits of instituting push in, but she was totally against it and pretty much refused to dicuss it. As if that weren't bad enough, the teachers are horrible at communicating with the sped dept. I started using a new contact sheet that I send out every two weeks to get feedback from the teachers, but half of them don't send it back. There's a lot more to it than that, but that gives you an idea, at least.
I will certainly e-mail you with more details if you're interested, although don't feel that you need to listen to my venting, lol. It will probably be early next week before I get a chance, though. I'm going out with my mother today and have to drive back up north tomorrow. 
A day at the spa... that sounds sooooo nice. I'm going to have to look into that...
