In-School Suspensions - Do Suspensions Count Toward the Limit?

This week's question of the week comes from the trenches from a parent reader who asks: "If my child is placed in in-school suspension, does that count toward the 10 day cumulative suspension limit for the year?"

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act places some restrictions on how many times a student can be suspended before a school is required to hold an IEP team meeting.
