Rather, they must request a due process hearing and seek an order from a Hearing Officer placing the child in the interim alternative educational setting.11

Extractions: School administrators continue to struggle with disciplining special education students under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA), but experts say educators shouldn't feel their hands are completely tied by the federal regulations. The keys to successfully disciplining special ed students are: thorough knowledge of the IDEA and its implementing regulations; using the IEP team to determine if the child's behavior was the result of his or her disability and involving parents in the decision-making. Patricia Jordan Rea, Ed.D., a former special education teacher and director who teaches at the College of William and Mary, advises school administrators to become especially familiar with the protections for students with disabilities under the "stay put" provisions of IDEA: suspensions over 10 days are not allowed; long-term suspension or expulsion for misconduct determined to be related to a student's disability is not allowed; educational services cannot cease if a student is removed from school for a long-term suspension or by expulsion; and disciplinary measures are to be made by the IEP team rather than unilaterally.
