Understanding School Discipline Policies and Procedures in Maryland
Question:
How does the school decide on disciplinary actions?
Answer:
The school uses a level system of responses to behavior based on the seriousness of the behavior. The student code of conduct outlines different categories of offenses and your child’s rights. You can find the student handbook on the school system’s website or request a copy. Discipline policies aim to foster positive behavior, keep students connected to school, and describe behaviors that may lead to suspension or expulsion.
