Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This examination of the interim alternative educational setting for the school discipline of students with disabilities focuses on the legal requirements and their application under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act as amended in 1997. Following an introductory background chapter, the concept of interim alternative educational setting is defined and put in the context of IDEA and prior court cases. The next chapter considers assignment decisions and criteria for placement in the alternative setting including: who decides when to use an interim alternative setting; who determines the nature of such a setting; how long a student may be in an interim setting; criteria for an interim alternative educational setting; relationship to other programs for students who are suspended or expelled; connections to existing alternative schools or programs; other options for creating interim alternative educational settings; and changes in placement. The final section addresses such additional issues as the development of case law on interim settings, the lack of research on interim settings, research on alternative settings generally, and the funding of interim alternative settings.

Download or read book A Case Study of an Interim Alternative Educational Setting written by John Taylor Enloe and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the guidelines of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), all students with disabilities must be provided a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). This includes students who violate the law in regards to possession of a weapon or drugs, or students whose behaviors pose a threat to themselves or to others. Therefore, each school district must develop an Interim Alternative Educational Setting (IAES) where students can continue to receive a FAPE, where the goals and objectives of their Individual Educational Program (IEP) can be met, where they can continue to progress in the general curriculum and where their behavior can be addressed through assessment and positive behavioral interventions. The purpose of this study was to understand how the experience of placement in an IAES affected students' behaviors and attitudes. The study examined the effectiveness of the research-based interventions used in the IAES from the perspectives of students, parents and staff and how the various interventions related to the characteristics of the program. Data were collected from students, parents and staff at the IAES through a series of semistructured interviews designed and conducted by the researcher. The findings from this study have a number of implications for improving the programs designed for students attending the IAES and for the operation of the program. Recommendations included providing opportunities for parents to gain educational experience and seeking out and involving more community organizations, agencies and citizens in order to develop a more functional and meaningful curriculum. Finally, it was recommended that the district reconsider the status and role of the district's IAES in board policy. By restructuring Bayfront Preparatory School (BPS) as an accredited alternative high school, the school could receive funds from district, state and federal sources, which would allow the development of a comprehensive academic, vocational and counseling program. This would increase the opportunities for all students attending BPS to complete their high school programs and successfully transition to post-secondary education, training, or work.
