What is a manifestation determination hearing?

  1. A review of test scores and academic performance

  2. A review of a student's misconduct in relation to their disability

  3. An assessment for alternative education programs

  4. A meeting to determine resource allocation for students

The correct answer is: A review of a student's misconduct in relation to their disability

A manifestation determination hearing is specifically focused on evaluating whether a student's misconduct is directly related to their disability. This process is a critical aspect of ensuring that students with disabilities receive appropriate protections under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). When a student with an identified disability faces disciplinary action that leads to a change in placement, a manifestation determination hearing must be held. During this hearing, the educational team examines the behavior in question and determines if the conduct was a result of the student's disability. If it is found that the misconduct is indeed a manifestation of the disability, the student cannot be expelled or suspended in accordance with standard disciplinary processes. This ensures that students with disabilities are given the proper support and considerations in school disciplinary actions, promoting fair treatment and appropriate educational strategies tailored to their needs.
