School personnel may consider unique circumstances on a case-by-case basis to determine whether a change of placement is appropriate if your child violates a school code of student conduct.

  • The school may move your child to an interim alternative educational setting or suspend your child for a single conduct violation or separate incidents of misconduct for not more than 10 school days in a row.
  • Once your child has been removed from his/her current placement for a total of 10 school days in the same school year, the school district must provide services.
  • The services will enable your child to continue to participate in the general curriculum, although in another setting, and work on IEP goals.
  • A functional behavioral assessment and behavioral intervention plan must be provided, as appropriate.
  • If removal is a change of your child's placement, the IEP Team will determine appropriate services.
    • PWN is required for a change in placement
    • A manifestation determination will decide if the behavior was a result of your child's disability
    • Dispute Resolution is an option if you don't agree with the school's decision.
