(b) If a child with a disability is suspended from school for more than 10 consecutive school days or is expelled from school for behavior that has been determined not to be a manifestation of the child's disability, the child's IEP team shall determine the special education and related services that will be provided to the child. (c) If a child with a disability is placed in an interim alternative educational setting as a result of the child's possession of a weapon or illegal drug, the child's IEP team shall determine the following: (1) The special education and related services to be provided to the child in the interim alternative educational setting; and (2) those services and modifications that will be provided to address the misbehavior of the child and that are designed to prevent the misbehavior from recurring. (d)(1) If a child with a disability is to be placed in an interim alternative educational setting by a due process hearing officer because the child is substantially likely to cause injury to self or others, school officials shall propose to the hearing officer the special education and related services to be provided to the child, and those services and modifications to be provided to address the behavior and prevent its recurrence. (2) The hearing officer shall determine whether the services proposed by the school officials are appropriate. If so determined, those services shall be provided to the child. If determined to be inappropriate, the hearing officer shall order any modification in the services to be provided that the hearing officer determines necessary to provide the child with an appropriate education. (e) An agency shall convene IEP meetings under this regulation as expeditiously as possible and shall be required to give only 24 hours' prior notice of an IEP meeting to the child's parents. Kan.
