Section 827.35  Effective Date of Discipline

a)         All discipline will take place immediately or in the time frame established by the staff person determining the discipline.  Consideration shall be given for students who have, or who require, a behavior management plan as outlined in Section 827.30.

b)         In cases of suspensions of 10 days or more, changes of placement, or expulsion, the action taken will not take place until an appeal, if taken, has been exhausted, unless the situation poses a danger to the student or others, or the expulsion is required by the Gun Free Schools Act and Section 10-22.6 of the School Code.

1)         If expulsion is a result of the student having a weapon, the local school district is responsible for securing an alternate placement of the student for a minimum of 45 days.

2)         An IEP will be scheduled by the local school district to determine appropriate placement after the 45 day alternate placement period. 

3)         The School is not responsible for providing interim services to students; however, if appropriate, the School will provide technical and program assistance for students returned to the local school district or Local Education Agency (LEA).
