Question:

Is there a limit to how many times my child can be suspended?

Answer:

Under Maryland school law, a principal can suspend a student for more than 10 school days or expel the student, except as provided in specific cases. If an extended suspension or expulsion is warranted, the student or the student’s parent or guardian may appeal the decision to the local board within 10 days. The process for handling suspensions should be completed within 10 school days, but additional time may be allowed if necessary.
