DESCRIPTION OVERVIEW: SAMPLE STUDENT is not a Special Education student. To date, he has been absent 23 days out of 54.

His academic progress report indicates that he is rarely prepared for class, that he participates very little, completes very little work, does not follow directions and often disrupts the class.

His behavior record shows 7 referrals for insubordination, 6 for inappropriate language, 5 for harassment, 3 for defiance, 3 for fighting/assault, and 2 for physical aggression (endangering others).

He has been assigned to in-school-suspension to help him focus in a quiet environment and be productive, he has had his free time privileges revoked and spent free time in the office in an effort to reduce the behavior referrals in the commons and in the hallways. He was removed from his reading group and allowed to read on his own for the period that his class was working in the corrective reading program in an effort to reduce some of the anxiety in his academic day.

SAMPLE sees a school counselor regularly, he is also on THERAPISTS NAME caseload from Mental Health. He was put on a behavior contract that allowed him to remove himself from any situation where he felt anxious and angry before he became overly aggressive and his behavior went out of control.

SAMPLE has been staffed by the Student Support Team. A meeting was held on November 26, 2012 with LIST TEAM MEMBERS PRESENT, to discuss his academic progress, the fact that his behavior has become increasingly dangerous to others and to discuss the possible interventions that could be used during the school day to help SAMPLE gain control over his behavior and accomplish some school work.

SAMPLE left that meeting and at approximately 2:20pm went to the commons, went over to one of the office staff and asked if he could comb her hair. She was talking to another group of student and before she could respond, SAMPLE scraped a broken comb with a single tooth down the side of her head, across her ear, and down her neck. Earlier that same day SAMPLE shook an extension ladder that a worker was standing on repairing the roof outside the building.

SAMPLE has been suspended for 10 days this year to date. All 10 days of suspension were for assault, fighting, or behavior that is dangerous to others. SAMPLE has been given many opportunities to improve his behavior, many interventions have been tried at school to assist him in gaining control over his behavior, yet he seems unwilling or unable to comply with the rules and procedures and act safely and responsibly at school.

***Include parent contact log here.

***Include description of any legal records (i.e., citations issued that are related)

For these reasons we are asking that SAMPLE be expelled for the remainder of the 2012-2013 school year.

Re-entry to school is based on the criteria of meeting expulsion expectations and is the decision of the expelling principal and/or the principal at the school the student may be transitioning to.
