[QUOTE="weatheringthestorm, post: 131123, member: 4424"] We're having a MD because the latest suspension for cussing out the asst. principal added up to 10 days suspended this year. Our state law says we have to meet to see if these suspensions are a result of his disability. I think it's really more of a routine matter. Even without the bipolar diagnosis on his IEP they'd have to prove that his fight and verbal confrontation had nothing to do with his ADD. Since impulse control is a big problem with ADD I think they're going to have trouble with that. While I think there might be some issues with the administration at his HS I do feel that the Special Education director and his resource teacher actually have his best interest in mind. I'm always on guard though. I've also brushed up on all of our state laws concerning suspending and expelling Special Education students. I have decided to add the bipolar diagnosis to his IEP. I think it needs to be there for his own protection. I think it's reasonable to think there might be more of these kinds of incidents in school. They've already said they'll give him a full 10 day suspension and possibly reccommend him for expulsion if there is another problem this year. I think the expulsion threat is more of the standard scared straight threat they make to everyone because good luck expelling him, especially once we add the bipolar. I think the school will just accept his doctors diagnosis. They did testing earlier this year that showed hints at bipolar, but at that time there wasn't many bipolar symptoms showing up at school. Now there are. I do appreciate the info and the advice. I'm staying on guard and ready to fight for him if needed. [/QUOTE]
