There's really no reason to assume advice seekers to be liars all the time. If they are, they aren't going to admit it. And then when you actually accuse them of it, all that happens is an argument of how the story happened and it hardly results in advice. And for those people who actually are telling the truth, they feel harassed and attacked without getting any advice pertaining to their actual situation. "You are a liar until proven a non-liar in the court of FA".
With an IEP, the school will still be responsible for arranging an alternative. OP should still be able to finish his senior year, though it may be in a different setting.
I disagree with your last sentence because unless you know WHY they have an IEP it doesn't mean anything. Gifted students with high IQs and no other "issues" qualify for an IEP. A student does not need a diagnosis with ADHD, ODD, bipolar or any behavioral/developmental delays to have an IEP put into place.
Thank you for your comments and replies. We do have an attorney and there is the possibility of criminal charges being filed, according to my principal. I have an IEP for a learning disability and have been diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and anxiety. I have been on medication for over a year and am an honor roll student. Just to clarify, I assumed what my friend was going to do because he did it in the hallway in front of about 50 students and a few teachers a week earlier. And I'm pretty sure he did catch the can on fire because the principal showed it to me at our meeting. He said another student put it out. When I came to the meeting I said, "Hello, how are you?" and my principal replied with, "A lot better than you are going to be here in a few minutes". Is that ok for him to say?
Yes, that was okay for him to say. It doesn't sound like your IEP will be a factor in the expulsion.
