Question:

What’s the process for an expulsion hearing?

Answer:

In Maryland, a student can be expelled if the superintendent or designated representative determines that the student poses a serious threat to others at school. The exclusion should be for 45 school days or longer. The school must provide educational services and behavioral support during the expulsion period. If a student is not allowed to return to school, the superintendent must notify the student and parent within 24 hours with reasons. If an expulsion is warranted, the student or parent can appeal to the local board within 10 days.
