If the behavior is severe enough to warrant a longer suspension, an IEP conference is convened. For more information check out the Functional Assessment of Behavior process. The Functional Assessment of Behavior team can provide support. Each school district has developed slightly modified procedures. Request a meeting with the school's Child Study Team to review the records on the child, a well as information from the parents and teachers.
All testing begins at the home school.
If a child attends a private school, the parents must contact the Child Study Team Chairperson at the home school to arrange for a CST meeting to determine if the testing is warranted. The home school is the one your child would attend if going to a public school. Request a conference with the school administration to discuss how to address the child's behaviors and to assure that the child is challenged intellectually. Q. My child was tested for gifted and did not qualify. Call the home school and request a copy of the report.
