Discipline & Rights: District 14

Suspensions Over 10 Days

If your child is suspended for more than 10 days (consecutive or cumulative), District 14 must hold a Manifestation Determination Review (MDR).

The Golden Rule

They cannot punish your child for behavior that is a result of their disability.

Filing a Complaint

If you disagree with a decision, you have the right to:

• File a State Complaint with NYSED.
• Request Mediation.
• File for an Impartial Hearing (Due Process).
