What
about discipline and school rules?
Students in special education are
accountable for following school rules and regulations and may be suspended for
up to 10 days in a school year without the special education program having to
review the IEP.
Students with disabilities who have
numerous discipline referrals must have a Functional Behavioral Assessment
(FBA) and a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) describing interventions and
strategies for behavior(s). It is prudent for the school system to have a Behavioral
Intervention Plan (BIP) in place by the time your child has accumulated five
(5) days of out-of-school suspension.
When suspension beyond 10 days is
considered, then the school system must schedule an IEP meeting.
