IDEA Complaint Decision 04-060
On December 13, 2004, the Department of Public Instruction received a complaint under state and federal special education law from XXXXX against the Milwaukee Public Schools. This is the department's decision regarding that complaint. The issues are whether the district during the 2004-2005 school year followed required procedures when the district suspended a child with a disability more than ten days during the school year and properly notified the student's parent of an individualized education program (IEP) team meeting conducted on November 22.
