Discipline of students with disabilities is subject to federal and state legal requirements, and the provisions of each student's Individualized Education Plan. The placement of students with disabilities, including disciplinary placements such as AEP and expulsion, is decided by the student's ARD Committee or 504 Committee in accordance with federal and state law.

The Principal may impose a three-day suspension on a student with a disability, unless the student's BIP (Behavior Intervention Plan) prohibits such action, without the necessity of an ARD or 504 Committee meeting. However, a short-term suspension of a student with a disability could constitute a change in placement. Therefore, the district will hold an ARD or 504 Committee meeting after a student has served a series of short-term suspensions that add up to a total of 10 school days within a single school year.
