Tuesday, March 29, 2011 Discipline: Student Rights Under IDEA 2004-->A Helpful Document Of Federal StatutesThere are certain procedural guarantees students with disabilities are afforded under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004. Even students dismissed from special education----and those suspected of perhaps qualifying for special education services----are entitled to certain safeguards in this legislation. All school administrators should know these statutes better than I believe many really do. I copied and pasted the discipline statutes from IDEA 2004 into a Word document, then added formatting to create what should probably be five pages of required reading for all educators on campus. This is five pages of student rights and procedures that educators and parents of actual or potential special education students should be familiar with. The statutes are unabridged. It is federal law! The document looks like what you see below, but it is five pages. Check It Out! Pass It On!
