Question:

What if I disagree with the manifestation determination?

Answer:

If you do not agree with the outcome of the manifestation determination meeting for your child, you have the right to appeal and/or file for mediation. You can ask at the manifestation meeting what the process is to appeal the decision. If you challenge the manifestation determination, your child will remain in an alternative placement/suspension until the appeal is resolved or until the end of the suspension period, whichever comes first.
