Sped Director wants us to have reconvenes for every IEP student failing

Hi, as you know, the first quarter is about to end. I have a new Sped director who wants us to have a reconvene meeting with the parent, general ed. Teacher and the student, for every student on my liaison list that is failing a class. In the past, when this has happened, I will certainly make a phone call home, and give constant updates throughout the following weeks by emails or more phone calls, etc., but a meeting?? I currently have four IEP students failing at least one class, so I have to scramble to have four meetings, trying to get the general Ed. Teacher there, etc. I don’t think I’m legally obligated to do this, and my focus is more on goals than grades anyway (although I certainly care about grades, and like I said, I increase parent contact when problems arise) but the logistics are going to be challenging. So is the new director being unrealistic or am I? It also feels like this is more of a “Guidance” thing to do…
