Best Practices
Communicate with your Special Education consultant regarding any students with IEPs who are facing suspension and/or serious discipline Consider a student’s IEP/504 needs during your investigation, they may need: Extended time to answer questions Support writing a statement Clarification of rules and consequences Extra time to calm down or process Whenever possible, allow a trusted adult to support the student through this process Consider how this student’s disabilities may have impacted their decision-
making during the incident you are addressing Would the student benefit from a FBA/BIP?
