Question:

What are the school’s responsibilities during a long-term suspension?

Answer:

During a long-term suspension in Maryland schools, the school must complete a process by the 10th school day of the initial suspension. If there are delays, the student should be allowed to return to school unless there is a serious threat. If the student is not allowed to return after the 10th day, the superintendent must provide reasons for the delay and denial of reentry within 24 hours. If an extended suspension or expulsion is decided, the student or parent can appeal to the local board within 10 days.
