Extractions: Before the reauthorization of the law in 1997, at least one court had decided that a school could not notify the police if a special ed student committed a crime which could be a manifestation of his disability, because that would result in a change in placement outside the due process procedures of IDEA. Fortunately, the new regulations clear up that, and the police can be called. Yes, it is very, very complicated, and the explanation in this column is just scratching the surface. A school board has no participation in the discipline of a special ed student. (Theoretically, at least, the student could be subject to suspension and expulsion if the behavior exhibited is not a manifestation of his disability; but that's a chimera. I've never seen a circumstance where a special ed student's lawyer did not insist that his behavior was not disability-related, regardless of what the student's identified disability is). Regardless, the obligation to continue education of that student continues.
