Which of the following is NOT a role of the IEP Team members?

The correct answer is that determining discipline actions is not a role of the IEP Team members in the context of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The primary function of the IEP Team is to assess and plan educational strategies that support a student with disabilities in their learning environment.

Members of the IEP Team, which typically includes educators, special education professionals, and the student’s parents, focus on providing their expertise about the student’s unique needs, developing appropriate intervention strategies, and evaluating the progress of the student in meeting educational goals outlined in the Individualized Education Program (IEP). While discipline may be relevant to the overall school environment, it is generally managed by school administration and is outside the specific duties of the IEP Team, which is concentrated on the academic and developmental needs of the student rather than on disciplinary measures or actions.

This distinction reinforces the IEP Team's purpose of ensuring that students with disabilities are provided with a free appropriate public education (FAPE) that addresses their individual needs without the overlap into disciplinary matters.
