[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 46355, member: 23"] Hi Michellenurse0 and welcome to the forum. With this type attitude, you'll not likely to get cooperation from the school district without putting your request in writing and sending it via Certified Mail. (fax it to speed up snail mail; address it to the District Special Education Director.) Some school districts will feed misinformation to parents as long as they are allowed to get away with it. However, as long as your child does not have behavior addressed in his IEP, he can be held to the regular Student Code of Conduct. By Federal and State law, your child can not be suspended for more than 10 cummulative days in a school year without a manifestation hearing being held, because in most situations, it constitutes a "change in placement." There are tons of threads in this forum and in the Special Education Archives regarding behavior and IEPs. Just a couple: The Feds specifically state that IDEA " emphasizes a proactive approach to behaviors that interfere with learning by requiring that, for children with disabilities whose behavior impedes their learning or that of others, the IEP Team consider, as appropriate, and address in the childs IEP, the use of positive behavioral interventions, and other strategies to address the behavior. (See section 614(d)(3)(B)(i) of the Act). This provision should ensure that children who need behavior intervention plans to succeed in school receive them."
