Removal of a student with a disability for any of these reasons shall be used only in emergency situations and shall not exceed ten school days. Consecutive ten-day removals are prohibited, unless the Special Education Committee determines that the student poses an immediate threat to the safety of himself or others or disrupts the safety of the learning environment. If the parents appeal the Special Education Committee’s decision and refuse to permit a change in placement, the District may seek a court injunction to remove a dangerous student with a disability for more than ten consecutive days. If emergency removals, suspensions, or removals to alternative education total 10 school days in a year, the Special Education Committee shall review the student's IEP, unless the discipline management portion of the IEP specifies otherwise.
