Question:

What are my rights if my child is expelled?

Answer:

If your child is facing expulsion from a Maryland school, the school must provide comparable educational services and support to help your child return to their regular academic program. If the superintendent or designated representative believes your child’s return to school would pose a serious threat, they can be excluded for 45 school days or longer. You have the right to appeal an extended suspension or expulsion decision to the local board within 10 days.
