Question:

What is a Superintendent’s Designee?

Answer:

In Maryland schools, the Superintendent or their designee has the authority to make decisions regarding a student’s return to school after a suspension. If a student is not allowed to return after the 10th day, the Superintendent or designee must notify the student and parent within 24 hours, providing reasons for the delay. If an extended suspension or expulsion is deemed necessary, the student or parent can appeal to the local board within 10 days. Each local board of education is responsible for creating safe school environments and adopting policies that reflect positive behavior reinforcement.
