Suspensions

If a child is suspended from school, you should call the school immediately to find out whether the child received a principal's suspension or a superintendent's suspension. A Principal’s Suspension is for a maximum of 5 school days. A Superintendent’s Suspension is more serious and can result in a long term suspension or expulsion. The parent and child may attend a suspension hearing where they can challenge the suspension. The parent should pick up the suspension packet from the school to learn what happened and to help them decide whether to have the hearing or plead no contest.
