Question:

Can my child be arrested at school for minor infractions?

Answer:

Your child cannot be arrested for minor infractions at school. The school has specific procedures to follow for disciplinary actions, such as suspension or expulsion. It is important to review the school’s student code of conduct to understand your child’s rights. If there are behavior issues outside of school that lead to arrest, the school may be informed, but steps are taken to protect the student’s privacy.
