Question:

Can my child be suspended for refusing to do classwork?

Answer:

In Maryland, a student can be suspended for more than 10 school days or expelled if the principal finds it warranted. However, for in-school suspensions, the student must be informed of the reasons and given a chance to respond before the suspension takes effect. It is important to follow the procedures outlined in the school discipline laws and regulations to ensure the student’s rights are protected.
