Professional Learning in the area of discipline for students with disabilities continues to be the Number One subject our members ask for the most. This G-CASE Drive-In One-Day Workshop for special and general education leaders features nationally-known attorney Julie Weatherly as she addresses this critical, timely issue. She will focus on the actual rules of discipline for students with disabilities and how they apply to in-school suspension, alternative schools, bus transportation, students who exhibit dangerous behaviors, Manifestation Determination Reviews, and more.
The recommended audience is special education directors, coordinators*, lead teachers, principals, assistant principals, and superintendents.
*Special Education Coordinators will receive some of this information at the Coordinator Skills Institute (CSI) in February.
Lunch and snacks provided.
