Question:

What’s the process for an expulsion hearing?

Answer:

In Maryland, an expulsion can only occur if the superintendent or designated representative determines that the student poses an imminent threat of serious harm to others. The exclusion should be for 45 school days or longer. The school must provide educational and behavioral support services during the expulsion. If a student is expelled, they must stay away from school premises during school hours and cannot participate in school activities. If a student or parent disagrees with the expulsion, they can appeal to the local board within 10 days.
