Question:

What are the consequences of an expulsion?

Answer:

Under Maryland school law, expulsion is the exclusion of a student from their regular school program for 45 school days or longer. This can happen if the superintendent or designated representative believes the student’s return would pose a serious threat of harm to others. If a student is expelled, they must stay away from school during school hours and cannot participate in school activities. Additionally, the school system must provide the expelled student with educational and behavioral support services to help them return successfully to their regular academic program.
