Ennis Britton's On the Call
On the Call: Transportation and Discipline
When a student with a disability is suspended from bus service, does the district have to provide an alternative way to get them to school? In this episode, Erin and Jeremy examine what IDEA and 504 really require when it comes to student transportation and what happens when behavior gets in the way. They evaluate a case out of Maine where a district’s decision to move a student to specialized transportation was challenged as overly restrictive. They also review practical tips for administrators to help determine whether the IDEA’s discipline rules apply, when to treat a transportation suspension as a change of placement, and how to ensure LRE considerations are factored into transportation decisions.
