Question:

What is the role of the teacher in a suspension hearing?

Answer:

In Maryland, if a student faces a suspension of more than 10 school days or expulsion, the principal must report the matter in writing to the county superintendent. The superintendent or their representative will then conduct a thorough investigation. If an extended suspension or expulsion is deemed necessary, the student or their parent can appeal the decision to the local board within 10 days.
