Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) and/or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 must adhere to federal law, Florida Statues, Florida Board of
Education Rules, and Miami-Dade County School Board rules.
Suspensions and expulsions for more than ten (10) consecutive days and/or a
pattern of suspensions and expulsions that exceed ten (10) days in a school year
may be considered “changes in placement” for students with disabilities who
have a Section 504 Plan or who are enrolled in exceptional education placement
under IDEA. When the student is removed from his/her educational placement
for more than ten (10) days, a manifestation determination must be conducted
and the student must be provided appropriate educational services in order to
provide a free appropriate education.
Discipline guidelines for IDEA students with disabilities are specified in the
District’s Special Programs and Procedures for Exceptional Students document
and discipline guidelines for Section 504 students with disabilities are outlined
in the District’s Section 504 Procedures for Students with Disabilities
document.
