Discipline Procedures

ONLY FOR SUSPENSIONS MORE THAN 10 DAYS THAT OCCURRED WITIHN THE LAST 12 MONTHS

For a student who has been suspended for more than 10 days in the school year, the parent was notified on the day the decision was made.

Student File Review Method: Review the student’s file to determine if there is documentation that the parents were contacted in person or by telephone. This contact must be made on the same day as the decision to take the action.

If such a record is found, mark this item I.

If no record is found, mark this item O.

If a change in placement has occurred because of behavioral issues, the IEP team conducted a manifestation determination meeting within 10 school days to determine the relationship between the student’s disability and behavior.

Student File Review Method:

If the team (PEA, parent, and relevant members of the IEP team as determined by the parent and the PEA) conducted a review and made a manifestation determination, mark this item I.

If there is no documentation that a meeting occurred or if no determination was made, mark this item O.

If the behavior was determined to be a manifestation of the disability for a student who has been suspended for more than 10 days in the school year, a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) was conducted and a behavior intervention plan (BIP) was implemented OR, if already in place, the behavior intervention plan was reviewed and modified, as necessary.

Student File Review Method: If the behavior was determined to be a manifestation of the disability and a FBA was conducted or the BIP reviewed, mark this item I.

If the behavior was NOT a manifestation of the disability, mark this item U

If, as a result of a disciplinary action, the IEP team determined that behavior was a manifestation of the student’s disability, the student was returned to the placement from which the student was removed unless the removal was for possession of a weapon, drugs, or infliction of serious bodily injury or when the parents and PEA agree to the change of placement.

Student File Review Method: If the student was returned to the placement from which the student was removed, unless the parent and the PEA agreed to a change of placement, mark this item I.

Review the file to determine if the student who has been suspended or expelled continued to be provided FAPE, including services and adaptations described in the IEP.

Student File Review Method: Determine if there is a description indicating how FAPE will occur. If a new IEP or addendum was not written, there should be meeting notes or other documentation (PWN) regarding the services that will be provided and how they will be provided.

If one or the other is documented, mark this item I.
