            I.A.E.S. (Interim Alternative Educational Setting) is an education program for students on long term suspension or expulsion that allows the student the opportunity to continue to participate in the general education curriculum (in an alternative location from their boundary school) and to progress toward meeting the goals set out in the student's IEP.
