November 9, 20241 yr Is any of this a change in placement or denial of FAPE? If so, what do we do and can you reference the law in IDEA that applies? We are in Ohio. 1. Student is emergency removed for behavior (biting, hitting, kicking, eloping from learning area and on occasion from the property). We had a FBA and BIP in place for 2 weeks. BIP review meeting is Monday. 2. Student is sometimes placed in another classroom called "Alternate Learning Placement" in the building instead of emergency removal for the rest of the day. 3. Student sits outside of gen ed (LRE) classroom in "pod" with 1:1 para and does worksheets and "listens" to the gen ed instruction. FBA noted the student was in the gen ed classroom less than 10 minutes a day during their observations. When asked for a PWN (at the last removal) to address the change in placement and denial of FAPE, the district says none of these things are a change in placement or denial of FAPE. They say they only need to provide SDI and related services if the student has been removed more than 10 days. No PWN was sent.
