[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could be wrong but I believe disciplinary proceedings are typically is handled at the LEA/district level.  So it may well be true that an individual MCPS principal cannot make that decision, and that it has to be made at a district level but in the case of a charter, the charter IS the LEA and IS the district, and therefore the head of school may well have that authority, to where that IS the disciplinary proceeding.[/quote]

This is correct in DC. And if a child needs a special ed placement outside of the charter school, the charter school places the child directly into the private special ed school (and pays the tuition). The charter can't bounce the kid back to DCPS because the charter is its own LEA.   [/quote]

They can't "send" a kid to any other school but they can certainly expel them which means they do default back to DCPS.  With regard to special ed placement in DC families would be far better off with a DCPS school because they don't allocate anywhere near as much budget to charters for SN placements as they do for DCPS SN placements.[/quote]
