Question:

How do I file a complaint about a suspension?

Answer:

To file a complaint regarding a suspension in a Maryland school, you can follow the process outlined in the Maryland State Department of Education website. If your child is not allowed to return to school after the 10th day of suspension, the superintendent or designee must notify you and provide reasons for the delay and denial of reentry. If an extended suspension or expulsion is considered necessary, you or your child’s guardian can appeal to the local board within 10 days of the determination.
