Detention

Student experiences disciplinary action at a time other than during instructional time (e.g., before school, after school, and weekends) in order to maintain an orderly and effective educational system. Such actions do not occur during instructional time.

NOTE: Detentions are not counted as suspensions or expulsions and are not reported.

Interim Alternation Education Setting (IAES)

(511 IAC 7-32-53) (511 IAC Rule 44: Discipline Procedures)

Student’s placement when the public school (traditional or charter) removes a student from the student’s current placement as a result of any of the following:

1. Student has been removed for more than ten (10) cumulative instructional days in the same school year, but the removals do not constitute a pattern that results in a change of placement. The school may decide to provide services during the removal in an IAES setting.

2. A Case Conference Committee determines a student’s conduct is not a manifestation of the student’s disability. The committee may determine that during any period of removal a student will receive services in an IAES setting.

3. Student is removed by the school for not more than forty-five (45) instructional days for weapons drugs, or serious bodily injury. The student’s committee must determine the appropriate IAES setting for the period of removal.

• Instructional time includes a reasonable amount of passing time between classes within a single school building or on a single school campus, but does not include lunch or recess.

• Homework does not meet the criteria for “instructional time”.
