They can use the safety excuse if there is a threat to other students and they can prove it however they are still responsible to provide services if they themselves cannot. How much services would depend on an IEP or an evaluation.

I agree. If they cannot facilitate your child, they need to find and someplace else on their dime. Your son deserves the same education as everyone else. Do not let them bully you around. Do a search on Autism advocates in your area. They will accompany you to any other meeting with the school. They should have the knowledge and experience to get to the school administration. Good luck.

The national mental health bill signed by Bill Clinton says that if a School cannot facilitate a child it is up to that school to find a school where that child can be educated it's not up to the parent you can read about that law

They stomped on your rights if they made this decision outside of an IEP meeting. It won't take much to correct that. There's a stay-put clause in the law that says the current IEP stays in place if there's a dispute. Call then follow-up with a letter stating that you want the opportunity to have meaningful input into your child's IEP. And that you are not changing his school day until an agreement is reached using the IEP process. Go on-line to wrightslaw.com and read "letter to the stranger" to learn how to write letters that will help your case.

Ask for a meeting to change IEP... Address behavior and have it written in that he will be with a one on one associate. Parents ...guardians have this right for the child. Also, aggression in your child should have been dealt with his Autism special needs team at the school...very difficult to not try other avenues first before suspending unless they can get away with it. At end of 3days go in with your expectations for his plan. They get extra monies to implement and teach our children...put it to use
