PLACEMENT OF STUDENT OUTSIDE THE
REGULAR SCHOOL SETTING



Prior to considering any student for a placement outside the regular school setting, the following procedures are to be followed:

  1. Maintain standard documentation of discipline issues and interventions that are used or made (i.e. Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Intervention Plan, Manifestation Determination Hearing, Discipline Reports).

  2. The Special Education Coordinator should be aware of any students being considered for alternative placement. The schools should involve the Special Education Coordinator in its process of exploring potential alternative placement options.

  3. For students being considered for alternative placements a review of existing data should be conducted. It should be considered at this time if updated components would be appropriate.

  4. Options that will be considered will include outside consultation, additional support for the student at the school, referral to Ivy Creek School if appropriate, or referral to the Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT).

  5. The Special Education Case Manager will complete any necessary application forms. The complete packet is forwarded to the Special Education Coordinator, who will in turn make the referral to the alternative placement and / or schedule a Family Assessment and Planning Team Meeting (FAPT).
