Question:

How do I appeal a suspension?

Answer:

If your child receives a suspension of 10 days or fewer, Maryland law does not require the school to provide an appeal process. However, if you believe the suspension was unjust or important factors were not considered, you can request an appeal through the school. If the suspension is longer and the superintendent or representative decides on an extended suspension or expulsion, you have the right to appeal to the local board within 10 days of the decision.
