  Case: EBD and Grades
I have a new student that is considered to have an emotional behavior disorder. His parents have been difficult to work with when getting this child the services he needs and often times turn them down. He is on grade level, however, he is falling farther and farther behind because of his behavior. He has a dedicated para in both his general and special education classes (sped class to work on social skills) and the dedicated para has to remove him from the room daily because he is throwing a "fit." Because of these daily "fits" and being removed from class, he is missing a lot of the assignments and very rarely makes them up when we send them home. The grading period is quickly coming to a close and we're at a loss for how to report his grades. He is on an IEP, however, it's for behaviors only, no academics. Do we report his grades the way they are which will result in a failing grade or give him 70's because he is on an IEP?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would absolutely report his grades as they are. Because there is nothing in place that addresses his academics, I would make sure to bring him up in the RTI process and begin discussing interventions that would be appropriate to help him. Make sure you are documenting the efforts you make as well as his progress or lack there of.

Comments: I agree with this solution. The student has an IEP, therefore, their grades should be taken into account.
