Disciplinary Actions Exceeding Ten Days of Out of School
Suspension
In the event that any student with R-CIS receives disciplinary
action requiring an out of school suspension, the following rules
apply, should the disciplinary action exceed 10 days cumulatively in
one school year:
Behavioral Assessment:
On or before the end of the tenth business day of a disciplinary
action which for the first time that school year exceeds 10 days
cumulatively, if the school district did not conduct a functional
behavioral assessment and implement a behavioral intervention plan for
the child with R-CIS before the behavior that resulted in the
discipline action, the school district must convene an IEP meeting to
develop an assessment plan to address that behavior. If your child
with R-CIS already has a behavioral intervention plan, the IEP team
shall review the plan and modify it, as necessary, to address the
behavior involved in the disciplinary action. If your child with R-CIS
does not already have such a plan, the IEP team shall develop one and
shall implement those interventions. Any subsequent removals, which do
not constitute a disciplinary change of placement, require that the
IEP team review the behavior intervention plan and its implementation
to determine if modifications are necessary. If one or more of the IEP
team members believe that modifications are needed, the team shall
meet to modify the plan and its implementation, to the extent the team
determines necessary.
