Discipline Incidents (2014-2016 School Suspension (OSS)

520 Words3 Pages

During the 2014-2015 school year Sarah received three disciplinary incidents for disruption each resulting in out of school suspension (“OSS”). During the 2015-2016 school year Sarah received nine disciplinary incidents including 3 disruptions, 4 profanity/obscenity, 1 insubordination, and 1 other serious offense. These incidents results in 6 KISD other actions, 1 partial day OSS and 2 full day OSS. Prior to the 2014-2015 school year, Sarah had only received two disciplinary referrals. Sarah received 1 referral in 2012 for inappropriate language and 1 in 2004 for other serious offense. The Discipline records indicate a significant increase in disciplinary referrals during the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 school years. Such a dramatic increase will support the Petitioner’s assertion that Sarah’s ARD committee should have developed a BIP and conducted an FBA to address her increase in behaviors.
Student's Special Education Services Were provided in a Coordinated and Collaborative manner by Key Stakeholders.
The ARDC was responsible for developing Sarah’s IEPs and KISD was responsible for implementing the placement and services as written. Additional interviews …show more content…

KISD had not maintained progress reports on annual goals. Further the present levels of performance in the 05/09/2014 annual, 04/22/2015 annual, 02/03/2016 annual, and 02/18/2016 10 day ARDs are not legally sufficient. The present levels of performance are insufficient in establishing a baseline for establishing goals and monitoring progress and are too vague to be useful in monitoring progress. Without reports of progress towards goals or present levels of performance that provide concrete data driven performance indicators, the District cannot successfully defend itself against claims that Sarah did not make

Hendrick Hudson Central School District V. Rowley: Case Study

1331 Words | 6 Pages

The information gathered concluded that Rowley was not reaching her full potential without the sign-language interpreter. Without the interpreter in the classroom, Rowley was only able to understand about sixty percent of the learning instruction in the classroom. With this, Rowley is not showing her full potential, one hundred percent, that she is able to achieve with the sign-language interpreter. Although Rowley was able to advance grade levels, her performance is only reflecting the sixty percent of her full potential. Behind this information comes the decision that even though the school district provides her with the appropriate modifications to Rowley’s IEP, all those combined do not make the same impact as does the interpreter, therefore not providing Rowley with “free appropriate public

Does Suspending Students Work By Christopher J. Ferguson Summary

603 Words | 3 Pages

In the article “Does Suspending Students Work?” written by Christopher J. Ferguson he gives his opinion on why suspending students doesn’t work. To do so he uses examples of s schools on why it doesn’t work. I never really sat down and thought if out of school suspensions where a good consequence or not but sitting down and reading this article I realize Ferguson has good points. As I read this article I came to a conclusion that I too agree that out of school suspensions are ineffective and there are more ways that can come out with a better result. The main point that I really agreed with was when he said “Giving students what amounts to a free day or two off doesn’t actually feel like punishment for most kids, especially those who may already be hostile towards school to begin with.”

Reflection On School Board Meeting

Even after the bell rings, there is constant work happening to keep the school district running. The Council of Learning definitely hit this point home for me. In their twenty page document on student progress, they not only explained the importance of academic progress but the importance of pushing for a safer school climate for their students. Outside of the report they addressed the difficulty of excessive testing requirements and how it is putting down students. Only having had the perspective of a student, it was reassuring to see educators seeing a problem and actively seeking a way to fix the problem.
