Ennis Britton's On the Call

On the Call: Kindergarten IAES

Jeremy Neff and Erin Wessendorf-Wortman Season 4 Episode 1

Welcome back for Season 4! 

Chairs flying. Tables climbed. Punches thrown. Explicit language. What sounds like a WWE showdown was, in fact, the day-to-day reality for one California kindergarten teacher.

In this episode, Jeremy and Erin break down a case involving a student whose escalating physical behavior and threats led the district to seek removal from his current placement. Tune in as they walk through the requirements for removing a student to an Interim Alternative Educational Setting (IAES), what’s required for expedited hearings, and how IEP teams and district staff can prepare for the process.
