Question:

What’s the process for a short-term suspension?

Answer:

According to Maryland school law, if a student is facing a short-term suspension, the process must be completed within the first 10 school days of the suspension. If there are delays due to reasons like the unavailability of the parent or guardian, the student can return to school unless the superintendent decides the student poses 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 to the student and parent or guardian.
