There are two Kinds of MDCs:
Click on each one for a definition and explanation of SBCSC Procedures
An MDC MUST be held any time a student reaches the 10th day of suspension
Students who have been referred for an initial evaluation are considered "under the umbrella" and are provided with the same disciplinary protections of a special education student.
Students are referred for expulsion by an administrator after a major offense.

SBCSC Procedures for a Manifestation Determination Conference
PREPARING THE IEP BEFORE THE CONFERENCE
Purpose
Check "Manifestation Determination Conference"
Create Team
You may need to add support team members
Schedule CCC Meeting
Generate a Notice of CC based on the time and date in the email you receive from downtown
Add any attendees who need to be invited
Add the conference date as the Initiation date of this IEP.
Finalize the Notice and send home immediately
Existing Data
Add a paragraph to the current Present Level Behavior section describing any incidents or new information that led to this MDC. Make sure you identify this addition with the date of the MDC.
Special Considerations
Information in the Manifestation Determination text boxes will be completed by your Support Team and should not be done before the conference is held.
Review the Behavior Support Plan BEFORE the conference.
Make sure the behavior plan addresses the behaviors for which the student has been suspended
Check to see that the strategies and supports are still appropriate.
Review whether the Support plan has been implemented as written.
If there is no Behavior Plan, conduct a Functional Behavioral Assessment, and write a proposed Behavior Plan for the student before the conference.
Goals
Review Behavioral Goals and determine whether new goals are warranted.
Provisions/LRE
Don't make changes to the Provisions until after the conference. The committee will decide if the student's provisions will need to be changed based on the discussion at the conference.
AFTER THE CONFERENCE
Check to be sure the Special Consideration boxes have been completed
Revise the IEP to reflect changes to the Behavior support plan
Make any modifications to goals and/or provisions/LRE that were discussed at the conference
Finalize the IEP
Send a copy downtown
Make sure all staff have a copy of the revised Behavior Plan (IEP At A Glance)
If the decision has been made to put the student on a shortened day, fill out a Transportation Request
Expulsion
Everything is the same as above except:
Create Team: Include Special Ed supervisor on the team
Special Considerations: If the committee does not find a relationship between the behavior and the student's disability, the student will go to the community control panel. Services will be provided at APPROVE while the student waits for the hearing.
You will need to do a Transportation Request for APPROVE.
Send a copy of the IEP to APPROVE
