I want to make a story time video about this teacher in my school but I also don't want to get in trouble. As long as I keep their name, age, name of the school and my friends (basically no information about my school or related to my school) can they legally suspend me or get me in trouble?

The word "suit" means a case in a court. Whether you can sue depends on what your claim is for. Some issues require administrative action first. As you did not say anything, no one can know by your post.

The answer is yes and no. A lawyer can assist at a CSE, but you will need your own psychoeducational evaluation which will recommend what goes into an IEP. Only the school district "puts together" an IEP. My guess is you do not really understand the process.
Sometimes the kid lies, so I want to make sure she's honest of what she said and what the teacher really do after my daughter told her that she's being bullied by her classmates.

Why not talk to an education law project in new york--they've probably been down that road. Involving the kid in this may give rise to other issues. On the general problem a great organization is www.fellowshipfarm.org
