Under the 1997 IDEA revision, a student who violates school rules may be removed to what setting?

• A. An alternate learning space.
• B. A regular classroom only.
• C. A private home tutor.
• D. A detention facility.

Answer: (A)

Under the 1997 IDEA revision, when a student with disabilities violates school rules, the school may remove the student to an alternate learning space. This means the student continues to receive instruction and services in a setting designed for education outside the regular classroom, ensuring they still have access to a free appropriate public education (FAPE) during the disciplinary action. Returning to the regular classroom without a change in setting wouldn’t reflect a disciplinary removal, and a private home tutor or detention facility isn’t an IDEA-recognized educational placement for this purpose.
