This document updates and supersedes the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services’ (OSERS) guidance titled Questions and Answers on Discipline Procedures, issued in June 2009 and includes additional questions and answers that address topics that have arisen as the field continues to carry out the discipline provisions of IDEA and its implementing regulations. Key topics include removing a child with a disability from their current educational placement and the responsibilities of individualized education program (IEP) teams to address the behavioral needs of children with disabilities through the evaluation, reevaluation, and IEP development process to ensure the provision of a free appropriate public education (FAPE).
