Pol. 113
The district shall develop and implement positive Behavior Support Plans and
programs for students with disabilities who require specific interventions to address
behaviors that interfere with learning.
Students with disabilities who violate the Code of Student Conduct, or engage in
inappropriate behavior, disruptive or prohibited activities and/or actions injurious to
themselves or others, which would typically result in corrective action or discipline
of students without disabilities, shall be disciplined in accordance with state and
federal laws and regulations and Board policy and, if applicable, their Individualized
Education Program (IEP) and Behavior Support Plan.
Students with disabilities - school-aged children within the jurisdiction of the
district who have been evaluated and found to have one or more disabilities as
defined by law, and who require, because of such disabilities, special education and
related services.
Title 22
Sec. 12.6

Suspensions from school - disciplinary exclusions from school for a period of one

Sec. 300.530(g)
Interim alternative educational settings - removal of a student with a disability
from his/her current placement. Interim alternative educational settings may be used
by school personnel for up to forty-five (45) school days for certain infractions
committed by students with disabilities. The IEP team shall determine the interim
alternative educational setting; however, this does not constitute a change in
placement for a student with a disability.

Title 22
Sec. 14.143

Sec. 300.530
The Board directs that the district shall comply with provisions and procedural
safeguards of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and federal
and state regulations when disciplining students with disabilities for violations of
Board policy or district rules or regulations. No student with a disability shall be
subjected to a disciplinary change in placement if the student’s particular misconduct
is a manifestation of his/her disability. However, under certain circumstances a
student with a disability may be placed in an interim alternative educational setting
by school personnel or the IEP team could, if appropriate, change the student’s
educational placement to one which is more restrictive than the placement where the
misconduct occurred.

During any period of expulsion, or suspension from school for more than ten (10)
cumulative days in a year, or placement in an interim alternative educational setting
for disciplinary reasons, a student with a disability shall continue to receive a free
and appropriate education, in accordance with law.
Suspension From School
A student with a disability may be suspended for ten (10) consecutive and fifteen
(15) cumulative days of school per school year, for the same reasons and duration as
a student without a disability. Such suspension shall not constitute a change in the
student’s educational placement.
Changes In Educational Placement/Manifestation Determinations
Title 22
Sec. 14.143
34 CFR
Sec. 300.530
For disciplinary exclusions which constitute a change in educational placement, the
district shall first determine whether the student’s behavior is a manifestation of
his/her disability. Expulsion, or exclusion from school for more than fifteen (15)
cumulative days in a year, or patterns of suspensions for substantially identical
behaviors constitute changes in educational placements requiring a manifestation
determination. For students with mental retardation, any disciplinary suspension or
expulsion is a change in educational placement.

A due process hearing may be requested by a parent/guardian of a student with a
disability who disagrees with a disciplinary placement or manifestation
determination, or by the district if the district believes that the current placement is
substantially likely to result in injury to the student or others. On parent/guardian
appeal, or when the district requests a due process hearing, the hearing officer may
return the student to the placement from which s/he was removed or order his/her
removal to an appropriate interim alternative educational setting for up to forty-five
(45) school days if the hearing officer determines that maintaining the child’s current
placement is substantially likely to result in an injury to the student or others.
20 U.S.C.
Sec. 1415(k)
34 CFR
Sec. 300.533
Placement during appeals of disciplinary actions shall be in the interim alternative
educational setting pending the decision of the hearing officer or expiration of the

unless the district and the parent/guardian agree otherwise.
20 U.S.C.
Sec. 1415(k)
34 CFR
Sec. 300.534
Students who have not been identified as disabled may be subject to the same
