Iowa Admin. Code r. 281-14.9 - Required parent/guardian notifications and responses
(1)
General. If a classroom clear is used to prevent an imminent
threat, the following notifications and actions shall occur:
a. The school principal will, by the end of
the school day if possible, but at least within 24 hours after the incident,
notify the parents/guardians of all students assigned to the classroom that it
was cleared.
b. The notification
will not identify, directly or indirectly, any students involved in the
incident giving rise to the classroom clearance.
c. The principal will request that the
parent /guardian of the student whose behavior caused the classroom clear meet
with the principal, the classroom teacher, and other staff as
appropriate.
(2)
Students with disabilities. When a student with a disability
whose behavior caused a classroom clear and has an individualized education
program (IEP) or a behavioral intervention plan (BIP), the classroom teacher
will call for and be included in a review and potential revision of the
student's IEP or BIP by the student's IEP team. The AEA, in collaboration with
the school district , may, when the parent or guardian meets with the IEP team
during the review or reevaluation of the student's IEP, inform the parent or
guardian of individual or family counseling services available in the area. The
public agencies are to provide those services if those services are necessary
for a free appropriate public education, pursuant to 281-subrule
41.320(7).
(3)
Students
without disabilities.
a. If a
student does not have an IEP or a BIP, the meeting will include an intervention
plan that reduces the likelihood of the recurrence of behaviors requiring a
classroom clear .
b. If a student
has a BIP but does not have an IEP, the classroom teacher will call for and be
included in a review and potential revision of the student's behavioral
intervention plan.
c. If the school
suspects the student whose behavior resulted in a classroom clear might be
eligible for a BIP, individual health plan (IHP), safety plan, or IEP, the
public agencies shall promptly determine the child's eligibility in accordance
with the procedures required for determining eligibility.
(4)
Parent input. The team
is to consider parent input in identifying supports to address behaviors that
caused the classroom clear .
a. If the parent
of a student with an IEP chooses not to participate in the meeting, the school
will follow procedures to document efforts to invite the parent , as required by
rule 281-41.322 (256B, 34CFR300), and
inform the parent of proposed changes to the IEP or BIP, or both, pursuant to
rule 281-41.503 (256B, 34CFR300
).
b. If the parent of a student
without an IEP chooses not to participate in the meeting, the school will
continue to support the student's needs by planning and providing intervention
for the student.
(5)
Additional provisions. When calling for a meeting, the
classroom teacher may be required to follow procedures established by the
school district or AEA to request such a meeting. Any recommended change to a
student's behavior intervention plan, individual health plan, safety plan, or
educational placement is to be made in accordance with the procedures required
for amending said plan or changing said placement.
