Question:

What are the consequences of a long-term suspension?

Answer:

Under Maryland school law, if a student is suspended for more than 10 days or expelled, the principal must report the matter to the county superintendent. The superintendent will then investigate the situation. If the superintendent decides on a longer suspension or expulsion, the student or their parent can appeal within 10 days. If the student is not allowed to return to school after the 10th day of suspension, the superintendent must provide reasons for the delay and denial of reentry. The student’s education during suspension should be provided by the school.
