Which action would the ARD committee take for a student who is no longer eligible for special education?

• A. Dismiss the student.
• B. Transfer to another district.
• C. Expand IEP to include more services.
• D. Reduce the number of school days.

Answer: (A)

When a student no longer meets the criteria for special education services, the ARD committee exits them from the IEP and dismisses them from special education. This moves the student back into general education, with any needed supports provided through general education accommodations or, if appropriate, a 504 plan. The other options don’t fit because transferring to another district isn’t a required step for losing eligibility, expanding the IEP would only be done if needs or eligibility changed to require more services, and reducing the number of school days isn’t connected to eligibility status.
