A
DirectSTEP® eLearning course from LRP
This course discusses several areas in which the disciplinary protections that administrators must provide to students with disabilities differ depending on whether the student is eligible under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) or the student is covered under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) but not the IDEA. The course seeks to provide district- and school-level administrators with an understanding of which students are entitled to which safeguards, as well as administrators’ options for removing a student who brings a weapon, alcohol, or drugs to school or poses a physical danger to others.
