Question:

Can my child be suspended for not following school rules?

Answer:

Yes, according to Maryland school law, a principal can request a suspension for more than 10 school days or expulsion for a student who does not comply with school rules. The school must provide intervention and support to address the student’s behavior, and there are procedures in place for appeals if an extended suspension or expulsion is considered.
