Segment 5: Students with IEPs and 504 Plans

Students receiving special education, students with disabilities and students with 504 Plans (as defined by federal and state laws and regulations) are expected to follow the Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, except in certain cases. More specifically, IEPS  and 504 Plans  will indicate whether the student can be expected to meet the regular discipline code in the Rights and Responsibilities Handbook or if the
student’s disability requires specially designed discipline procedures that address the student’s needs.

If the student’s behavior is impacted by his/her disability, such behaviors will be addressed through the IEP and/or 504 TEAM process.

If student whose IEP or 504 Plan does not reflect the need for modifications to the discipline code, in addition to making any administrative decision under the Rights and Responsibilities Handbook the Principal, Head of Upper School, or other designee will notify the Office of Student Services of the suspendable offense. A copy of the suspension notice will be forwarded to the Office of Student Services.
