Question:

Can my child be suspended for something that happened on social media?

Answer:

Under Maryland school law, your child can be subject to suspension for conduct that disrupts the school environment or would be considered an offense subject to suspension. The school must provide intervention and support to address your child’s behavior, which may include positive behavior interventions and supports, a behavior intervention plan, and referrals to support teams. It is important to review the school’s student discipline policies, which should describe the conduct that may lead to suspension or expulsion.
