Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 My daughter was suspended from school in 5th grade for taking a paring knife to school concealed in a pocket of her cargo pants. Unfortunately she showed it to another child on the playground and said it was " for protection " . The other child told the teacher and a suspension resulted. When I asked her about it, she said she " forgot " it was in her pants.(unanswered question: what was it doing in her pants in the first place?) Despite her IEP and status as a special education student, she was suspended. The only protection her IEP gives her is that she can't be suspended for more than 10 days without an IEP review, manifestation hearing, etc. Nowadays, if she is suspended for any reason, I demand an IEP review. And document, document, document.
