[QUOTE="slsh, post: 559311, member: 8"] Wow - so much wrong with this situation I don't even know where to begin. Children with disabilities are entitled to "free and appropriate public education in least restrictive environment" (FAPE in LRE). There is not a chance in Hades that this child is receiving any kind of an education in 1 hour a day of school, especially given that he/she is being sent home early it sounds like more often than not. Secondly, a child with an IEP cannot be suspended more than 10 days per school year. Every day the child is sent home early should also be considered a suspended day - though I supposed the SD (school district) could argue that he/she hasn't hit 10 days since he/she is only going an hour a day, but.... it's still beyond ridiculous. In essence, a change of placement has occurred with- that 10th day of suspension and an IEP team mtg should have been held. What type of classroom is the child in? Reg. ed, Special Education? I think that obviously the current placement is not working and the SD should be looking at a more appropriate setting, whatever that may entail, up to and including residential placement if no other option works. Does the child have an aide? What is the plan for increasing hours of education? What is the plan for compensatory education - at some point, this child is going to have to catch up on lost education. I think the parents need to run, not walk, to a really good Special Education advocate and/or attorney. This sounds like a losing proposition for the child and I'm not seeing any chance for him/her to recover lost educational time under this plan. I also have to say, it sounds like the kid is a master manipulator, and it's time for the adults/staff/educators to stop letting him/her run the show. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
