Question:

Why was my son suspended for fighting?

Answer:

Maryland school laws allow for student suspensions for fighting, with the goal of maintaining a safe and disciplined learning environment. Each local school board has the authority to adopt policies to create safe schools. Students who are suspended or expelled must receive education services to keep them on track with their school work. Schools may also develop more stringent regulations and procedures if needed.

My student called in a bomb threat on his school. What is a fair punishment and who gets to decide?

If a student in Maryland makes a bomb threat at school, the potential consequences could include extended suspension or expulsion. The local superintendent or designated representative has the authority to determine the punishment. If an expulsion is warranted, the student or their parent can appeal the decision to the local board within 10 days.
