Drug. Weapons. Bodily Harm. In these three “special circumstances,” the IDEA permits your district to take disciplinary action regardless of whether the behavior is a manifestation of the student’s disability — but there are restrictions.
School law attorney Brandon Wright explains what you can and can’t do to protect the safety of the school environment and the rights of the student involved. Ensure staff are prepared for the next situation they face with guidance to:
- Implement procedures to follow when a student with a disability is involved in drugs, weapons, or violence
- Address school safety issues while also providing the offending student with FAPE
- Identify when you can remove an offending student to an IAES
- Engage law enforcement and mental health intervention agencies during or after incidents
- And more
