Maryland School Discipline Laws: Returning to School After Expulsion
Question:
Can my child return to the same school after expulsion?
Answer:
In Maryland, if a student has been expelled, they must stay away from the school during school hours and cannot participate in school activities. The superintendent can deny attendance to a student who is expelled for a period equal to the expulsion. The school system must provide information about the discipline, including expulsions, to other school systems upon request. If a student is expelled, the superintendent must determine if their return poses a threat of harm to others. The student or their parent can appeal an extended suspension or expulsion decision to the local board within 10 days.
