Question:

Can my child be suspended without a written notice?

Answer:

No, a student in Maryland cannot be suspended from school without receiving written notice. The student must be informed of the reasons for the suspension and given an opportunity to respond before the suspension becomes effective. Additionally, the school principal is required to provide the student’s parents with written notification of the in-school suspension action taken by the school.
