Understanding School Discipline Laws: Can a Child be Suspended for Not Following Directions?
Question:
Can my child be suspended for not following directions?
Answer:
Your child can only be suspended or expelled from school for specific reasons outlined in the school’s disciplinary procedures. It is important to review the school’s student code of conduct to understand what behaviors can lead to suspension. If your child is facing suspension, you have the right to challenge the decision and present reasons why they should not be suspended for additional days. Make sure to consider factors like your child’s past behavior, age, academic performance, and any support services they may be receiving.
