Question:

What are the rules for in-school suspension?

Answer:

According to Maryland school law, for in-school suspension, the student must be informed of the reasons for the suspension and given a chance to respond before it starts. The school principal must notify the student’s parents in writing about the in-school suspension. After 10 days of in-school suspension, a meeting must be held with the student, parents, and principal. The school must provide education for the student during the suspension period. If a suspension is longer than 10 days or an expulsion is being considered, the county superintendent must be involved, and a thorough investigation must be conducted.
