Question:

What happens if my child is suspended during state testing?

Answer:

If your child is suspended during state testing in Maryland, the school must inform you of the reasons for the suspension and give your child a chance to respond before the suspension takes effect. After 10 days of in-school suspension, there will be a conference involving the student, parents, and principal. If the suspension extends beyond 10 days, the superintendent must provide reasons for the delay. If an extended suspension or expulsion is deemed necessary, the student or parents can appeal the decision to the local board within 10 days.
