[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting rid of a student who has issues that a school is incapable of dealing with has been around longer than Biden. DD's school had a boy prone to violence and it took him attacking a first grader for them to finally force him out[/quote]

So much fing ignorance. No one forced a child out of a public school. There are procedures that have to be followed. The school system is required to have meetings and decide on the best placement for the child. It takes a lot of time to do this. No one can just kick a kid out of public school. The administrators at this school sound like they were much of the problem. If they deny and stop assessments it can cause problems like this.

I also think it's absolute cowardice that the op didn't pose this in the sns forum where she'd get it handed to her. I know any time a person posts about sn kids in general education forum it is because they want a post full of hate against people with disabilities.[/quote]

OP here- I didn’t post this to the SN forum because it goes beyond kids with SN. I want to know how national policies impact local school districts ability to effectively deal with children who are violent/disruptive regardless of their status. IDEA has been brought up several times on DCUM as potentially limiting school’s ability to address this issue, so I asked the question. [/quote]
