Question:

What should I do if I disagree with my child’s suspension?

Answer:

In Maryland schools, if your child is suspended for more than 10 days and you disagree with the decision, you can appeal to the local board within 10 days of the determination. If the suspension is 10 days or fewer, there may not be a right to appeal mandated by state law, but you can still request an appeal through the school system’s procedures or by sending a letter to the principal explaining your objections.
