Back to Board Policies

Upon learning of a significant disproportionality either in the suspension, identification, classification, and/or placement of the District’s students with disabilities, the Board will promptly review the District’s policies, practices, and procedures to determine whether they are fully compliant with the requirements of the IDEA and Article 89, or require revisions. If changes are needed, the Board will take immediate steps to adopt and implement any and all necessary revisions. 

The Board will inform the public of any revisions to the District’s policies, practices, and procedures undertaken as a result of a finding of significant disproportionality. The Superintendent will notify school personnel responsible for implementing the revisions.
