After a student has experienced 10 cumulative
days of suspension within the school year, the Building
Administrator in consultation with the Special Education
Teacher must consider whether a change of placement has
occurred (Form No. 80.03).
A change of placement has occurred if the student:
- Is removed for more than 10 consecutive days
- Receives a series of removals that constitute a pattern
because the removals:
- Cumulate to more than 10 school days in
a year, and
- The removals involve such factors as the length
of each removal, the total amount of time the student
is removed, and the proximity of the removals to one
another.
NOTE: A student with a disability may
be removed for a period of time that cumulatively exceeds
10 school days in a given school year for separate accounts
of misconduct as long as the removals do not constitute
a pattern.
- Isolated short term suspensions for unrelated
instances of misconduct may not be considered a pattern.
- These removals do not constitute a change in placement.
