Common use of Placement Services Clause in Contracts

Placement Services. a. A School District may expel a student who has been identified as a qualified student with a disability under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) only after a duly constituted Admission, Review and Dismissal (ARD) committee makes a determination pursuant to Federal law that the behavior leading to the expulsion is not a manifestation of the student's disability. The school district must invite the administrator of the JJAEP or the administrator's designee, as a non- consensus member, to a placement admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee meeting convened to discuss the expulsion of a student with a disability. After making such a determination, the district's ARD committee will determine what services, if any, are necessary to comply with the IDEA. In the case of a student who has been identified as a qualified student with a disability under the IDEA who brings a weapon to school, who knowingly possesses, uses, or solicits the sale of a controlled substance, or has inflicted serious bodily injury upon another person (while at school, on school premises or at a school function), federal law permits a change in placement to a discipline alternative education program for up to forty-five (45) school days, regardless of whether the conduct is a manifestation of the student's disabling condition. b. For Category “A” and “B” students, prior to referral to the JJAEP, School District must convene an ARD meeting to determine placement and necessary services to be provided while enrolled in the JJAEP. c. For Category “C”, “D”, and “E” students, the JJAEP will request that School District convene an ARD meeting within ten (10) days of enrollment in the JJAEP.
