For purposes of removal of a student with a disability from the student's current educational placement under this chapter, a change of placement occurs if: (1) The removal is for more than ten consecutive school days; or (2) The student is subjected to a series of removals that constitute a pattern because: (a) They cumulate to more than ten school days in a school year; (b) Of factors such as the length of each removal, the total amount of time the student is removed, and the proximity of the removals to one another; and (c) The student's behavior is substantially similar to the student's behavior in previous incidents that resulted in the series of removals. The public agency determines on a case-by-case basis whether a pattern of removals constitutes a change of placement. This determination is subject to review through due process and judicial proceedings.
