Behavioral issues are special needs issues, OP, by definition.

You should take this golden opportunity to have your child evaluated by a developmental pediatrician or psychologist, to see whether he has ADHD, or something else. Given what you've described, it's very likely ADHD.

Armed with the specialist's advice and written report, you can then decide whether further treatment/management is needed, and whether it's going to come from the school or private sources.

But you can't just sit back and refuse to act here. If the school is pushing for placement, it means that many of the parents have heard their kids complain about yours, and have alerted the administration, and that the situation has developed to a critical point. I know two disturbed and bullying children who made the lives of their classmates very difficult and scary because despite the school offers of help, the parents were in denial about the gravity of the situation.

Don't be that parent.
