Navigating the Complexities of Special Education Discipline, Shortened Day, and Child Find: Where They Intersect

February 19, 2025
with Nancy Goosen, OSDE Policies and Procedures Program Manager

Come find out what the IDEA regulations have to say about the requirements surrounding disciplining a student with a disability. Additionally, learn what the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), and the Oklahoma Special Education Policies and Procedures (P&P) have to say about informal removals and shortened days. You will walk away with tools for navigating: The compass and charts from IDEA regulations; the navigation lights from OSEP guidance and Oklahoma’s P&P to help shed light on things to avoid collisions with a State complaint or a due process hearing; including recognizing when visual distress signals and a life jacket are needed in the form of contacting the OSDE-Office of Special Education Services when you feel you are drowning in the sea of paperwork and confused about the direction to take.
