Question:

What is a manifestation determination review?

Answer:

Under Maryland school law, a manifestation determination review is a meeting that the IEP team must have within 10 school days of a student’s disciplinary removal to determine if the behavior was a result of the student’s disability. This meeting considers various factors, including the behavior intervention plan, teacher observations, and the student’s IEP or Section 504 plan. Parents have the right to participate in this meeting and provide input.
