Dear Parent/Guardian:

Your child was recently referred to the Columbus City Schools Hearing Office regarding a discipline matter.  However, prior to any disciplinary action being taken, a manifestation determination meeting was held to determine whether your child's behavior was a manifestation of their disability. 

In your child's case, the team determined that the misbehavior was a manifestation of their disability and therefore, no disciplinary actions were taken by the Hearing Office. Any actions and/or changed that may have occurred were made through the IEP and/or Section 504 process.

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):


This is to inform you of the results of the discipline hearing held for <student.firstName student.lastName> on  <customBehaviorResolution.hearingDate>. Based upon the information presented at the hearing, it has been determined that <student.firstName> has committed the offense detailed in the discipline summary below.

<<Discipline Summary - copy/paste from Infinite Campus>>

Accordingly, please be advised that <student.firstName  student.lastName> is hereby assigned to The Support Center (TSC) at BlendED.

Assignment to TSC Program is in lieu of expulsion and continues for the full period of the intended expulsion.

This will occur without additional discipline hearings.
