Introduction
The guidelines in this section are not binding for local education agencies (LEAs) or other entities except for the statutes, regulations, and court decisions that are referred herein. The information provided is taken from the California School Boards Association (CSBA) Board and Administrative Policy. School administrators are presented with complex disciplinary issues. Some of these situations involve students with disabilities who are entitled to certain protections under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The Association of California School Administrators (ACSA) Suspension/Expulsion Handbook is a tool to develop LEA procedures for disciplining students with disabilities. The handbook provides step-by-step directions and sample forms that have been developed by LEAs and attorneys and cites relevant sections of applicable laws and regulations.
