What Counts as a What Counts as a Suspension?Suspension?
Partial days = full days of removal.
If restrictions/conditions are imposed, each
day out until condition is met is a day of
removal (e.g., parent meeting, psych eval).
If removed at district request it is a day of removal.
Each missed school day due to bus suspension, if transportation is included in IEP, is a day of removal.
If removal is part of a behavior intervention plan (BIP) that is NOT written in the IEP it is a removal.
What Does NOT Count as a What Does NOT Count as a Suspension?Suspension?
In-school suspensions do not need to be counted as suspension days if:
The student is given his/her classroom work to complete during the ISS,
Continues to receive special education services specified in the IEP, and
Continues to participate with non-disabled peers to the same extent that they would have without the ISS
The student must be able to earn credit for work completed during the ISS
TimelinesTimelines1+ days of suspension: classwork provided, must earn credit for work done, track days on Discipline Tracking Record
Around 6th day: Functional Assessment and Behavior Plan
10th day: Manifestation Determination Review and Discipline paperwork (from MiStar/Zangle) plus plan for how special education services will be provided during any additional suspensions
More than 10 days: Special education services must be provided during suspension. Determine if a change of placement exists. If yes: convene MDR, discipline paperwork and Interim Alternate Educational Setting (IAES) form if not a manifestation of disability and suspension will continue beyond MDR
