Question:

Can my child be suspended for using their phone during class?

Answer:

Under Maryland school law, a student cannot be suspended for using their phone during class unless there is a formal suspension process followed. In-school suspensions require that the student be informed of the reasons and given a chance to respond before it takes effect. After 10 days of cumulative in-school suspension, a meeting between the student, parents, and principal must be held.
