Suspension of IEP student; school advocate sees in spring

Over the years I’ve noticed  IEP students with behaviors being suspended more frequently at the month or so before the end of the school year.

A few years back our U.S. Congress gave school districts the ability to suspend students with IEPs up to ten school days during a school year.

In the spring, patience can wear thin and school staffer’s might suspend a student who has not yet been suspended ten days that school term.  So why not find a reason to suspend the student?  These school staffers may have no idea that a multi-day suspension might be the breaking point for a family? a marriage? income?

Parent’s can be proactive to puruse an appropriate behavior plan exists within the IEP for a student.

Don’t be bamboozled!   Parents who are serious about their child’s schooling and tired of being bamboozled use advocates at The IEP Center.
