In-school suspension is “counted” for two purposes. This section will delineate the purpose and function of the count to clarify the appropriate application of each.
Discipline, Crime and Violence Report
In-school suspension for the Discipline, Crime and Violence report is collected in the student information system. Students who are eligible for special education and related services must have the number units (2.5 hours or more a day) of in-school suspension entered into the student information system. This data is entered into the student information system, regardless of any other extraneous factors. To summarize, each time a student who receives special education services is assigned in-school suspension for 2.5 hours or more the data is entered into the student information system.
Please note: This count has nothing to do with manifestation determination of the fiorst 10 days of out of school suspension.
In-School Suspension and Change of Placement
(Requirement for a Manifestation Determination)
In-school suspensions are counted toward the number of days a student who is eligible for special education is suspended from school (change of placement) if ANY of the student’s special education services are also suspended/missed while the student is being disciplined (i.e. the student misses a collaborative class while working in the in-school suspension room).
However, in-school suspension will not constitute a day of suspension provided:
- The student is afforded the opportunity to continue to appropriately progress in the
general curriculum;
- continue to receive the services specified on his or her IEP;
- and continue to participate with non-disabled students to the extent they would have in their current placement.
