The teacher shall send the pupil to the school principal or his or her designee and notify the school principal or his or her designee immediately of the reasons for the removal. In addition, the teacher shall provide to the principal or his or her designee within 24 hours after the pupil’s removal from the class a written explanation of the reasons for the removal. A teacher may not remove a pupil who is a child with a disability, as defined in s. 115.76 (5), from the teacher’s class if the pupil’s individualized education program, as defined in s. 115.76 (9), states that the behavior that is the basis for the removal is consistent with the child’s disability and removal under this subsection for that behavior is not appropriate.”.
