(7) Disability
shall mean one or more of the following impairments: (f) Emotional
Impairment - As defined
under federal law at 34 CFR §300.8(c)(4), the student exhibits one or
more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and to
a marked degree that adversely affects educational performance: an
inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory,
or health factors; an inability to build or maintain satisfactory
interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers; inappropriate
types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances; a general
pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression; or a tendency to develop
physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems.
The determination of disability shall not be made solely because the
student's behavior violates the school's discipline code, because the
student is involved with a state court or social service agency, or
because the student is socially maladjusted, unless the Team determines
that the student has a serious emotional disturbance.
