Abstract
The 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1990 contain new regulations concerning short-term and long-term suspension. The new amendments strike a balance between the rights of students with disabilities and the need of all students for safe and well-disciplined schools. Changes include new protections for students with disabilities and new tools for administrators to help ensure the safety of all students. The new policies and procedures for addressing behaviors and placement of students with disabilities in interim alternative educational settings under the new IDEA are discussed.Keywords
