Your child may be treated like any child without a disability for disciplinary purposes.1

Tip: You may wish to make a written request for an evaluation for special education services. If you make such a request, your child will remain in the disciplinary setting (suspension, expulsion*, or alternative placement) pending the results of an expedited evaluation,2 which must be completed in fewer than 30 school days from receipt of your written consent for the evaluation. If your child’s placement in the disciplinary setting ends before the evaluation is completed, your child will return to his or her prior placement while the evaluation is completed.
