Question

Describe three aspects of due process for a school seeking to suspend a student with disabilities

Answer 1

The three aspects of the due process for a school seeking to suspend a student with disabilities are the following:1. When traditional disciplinary measures like counseling, detention, and others are ineffective in diffusing the threat posed by the student with disabilities, program/school officials may use the 10-day suspension period to look for parental consent for another placement.2. The Country Office may include in any possible dangerous special education students Individual Education Plan the student's parent/guardian's approval for such disciplinary action. Clarifying language in IEP can be used to prevent any parental consent or court action within the 10-day suspension period.3. The designee or program director shall monitor the number of days, including those days that students with valid individualized education programs have been suspended throughout the school year.
