Basis of Knowledge for Disciplinary Matters and Exception, the child may be subjected to the
disciplinary measures that are applied to children without disabilities who engaged in
comparable behaviors. However, if a request is made for an evaluation of a child during the time
period in which the child is subjected to disciplinary measures, the evaluation must be conducted
in an expedited manner.
Until the evaluation is completed, the child remains in the educational placement determined by
school authorities, which can include suspension or expulsion without educational services.
If the child is determined to be a child with a disability, taking into consideration information
from the evaluation conducted by the school division, and information provided by the parents,
the school division must provide special education and related services in accordance with the
IDEA, including the disciplinary requirements described above.
