In this video, you learn what consequences are permissible for misbehaving students with disabilities, when administrators can handle special education discipline without IEP team involvement, how students with disabilities can lose educational services if their misbehavior is not caused by a disability, and more. Melinda Baird, Esq., reviews the new discipline rules, explains each in a common-sense and practical context, and offers her tips for surviving the new legal changes.
