During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the policies governing the interaction between peace officers and students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in school settings. A key point raised was the focus on students with IEPs, prompting questions about why similar protocols do not exist for all students.

The conversation highlighted that existing legislation specifically addresses the removal of students with disabilities from school grounds, a policy rooted in long-standing state law. This raises concerns about the differential treatment of students based on their educational needs. One participant noted the absence of comparable regulations for students without IEPs, suggesting a potential gap in policy that could affect the overall safety and treatment of all students.

The discussion concluded with a commitment to further investigate whether any existing guidelines apply to students without IEPs, indicating a willingness to explore the implications of current laws and ensure equitable treatment across the student body. The meeting underscored the importance of understanding and potentially revising policies to better serve all students in educational environments.
