Congratulations to

Jane Tilleman, Lauro Esquilona III, Wendy Douglas, Margaret Joyce-Moroney, Karen Frantz-Fry, Cindi Maurice, Nancy Brennan, Kathy Agren, Tracey Christilles, Patsy Ray, Erika J. Musgrove, Kelly L. Duenckel, Ellen Kay, Laura McReynolds, Laurine Kennedy, Marvin Watts, Tara Steckis, Debbie Alford, Cynthia Turcotte, Kelly Jacobsen, Autumn Matthews, Donnie Stahlke, and Bonnie Baldwin who all knew the answer to last week's trivia question:


This process is required when a student with a disability is facing disciplinary action that could lead to a change in placement (like suspension or expulsion). The primary goal is to determine if the student's behavior was caused by or had a direct and substantial relationship to their disability, or if it was a direct result of the school's failure to implement the student's IEP. This process is triggered when a student with a disability is facing disciplinary action that would result in a change of placement for more than 10 consecutive school day. It is a procedural safeguard to ensure that students with disabilities are not unfairly disciplined for behaviors that are related to their disability. What is the name of this process?


Answer: MANIFESTATION DETERMINATION HEARING

This Week's Trivia Question: 


Hard to believe, but 41 years ago last week (March 24, 1984), five teenagers from different cliques and backgrounds met at 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning at Shermer High School to serve detention in this all-time classic film written, produced, and directed by John Hughes. The film premiered on February 7, 1985, and the media subsequently referred to the film's five main actors as members of a group called the “The Brat Pack”. What is the name of the film?
