Maryland School Discipline Laws and Parental Rights
Question:
How can I help my child improve their behavior at school?
Answer:
In Maryland, each local board of education is responsible for creating safe schools by adopting policies that promote positive behavior and maintain order. These policies should reflect goals of fostering, teaching, and acknowledging positive behavior, and allow for discretion in imposing discipline. Parents have the right to be informed of any acts of bullying, harassment, or intimidation involving their child within 3 business days. Schools also have procedures for reporting and addressing such behavior.
