[QUOTE="slsh, post: 471603, member: 8"] I'd say based on school psychiatric's comment, yes, they're looking to put him in another school. And DOE must pay for whatever placement the IEP team determines will provide an appropriate education for him. I'd start researching what alternate placements are available in your area. If you have a gifted child with- behavioral issues, you are going to want to make sure that he's not placed in a strictly BD placement or even one that's for strictly ED kids - just my experience, but academics quickly fall by the wayside because staff are too busy trying to deal with- behaviors. Most state DOE web sites have links to private schools with info about special populations served. Keep track of suspension time - they cannot suspend him more than 10 school days per year; since they are doing IEP evaluation, they are aware they are potentially dealing with- a student with a disability, so IEP protections have kicked in. ISS counts the same as out of school suspension. As far as an atty/advocate at this point... that's a gut call. It *sounds* like SD may be trying to do the right thing. You won't really know until the results of the evaluation are in and they make their placement recommendation. [/QUOTE]
