      "title": "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act: Proposed Amendment on Uniform Disciplinary Policies",
      "summary": "An amendment to the disciplinary procedures under the Individuals with Disabilities Education\nAct\n(IDEA) was proposed and withdrawn by Senators Gorton and Faircloth to  H.R. 2646 . \nThis amendment would have allowed state and local educational agencies to establish and implement\nuniform policies with respect to discipline for all children within their jurisdiction, including children\nwith disabilities, and was identical to one offered and defeated during debate on IDEA\nreauthorization last year. The amendment would have essentially returned the authority to the schools\nregarding discipline and the cessation of educational services that existed prior to the enactment of\n P.L. 94-142 , the predecessor to IDEA. Although the proposed amendment was withdrawn, Senator\nGorton indicated that it would be added to another education bill. This report discusses the\narguments for and against the amendment's adoption and analyzes the legal implications of the\nproposed amendment. For a more detailed discussion of the existing disciplinary provisions in IDEA\nsee Jones, \"Individuals with Disabilities Education Act: Discipline Provisions in  P.L. 105-17 ,\"  CRS Report 98-42  (January 12, 1998).",
