(8.33) Threat Assessment

The guidance acknowledges that completion of a threat or risk assessment is not addressed in the IDEA and its implementing regulations. However, it makes clear that school districts must protect the right of the child with a disability to FAPE and all procedural safeguards throughout a threat or risk assessment process. That includes the right to receive services during any removals beyond 10 cumulative school days in a school year.[1]
