School Suspension and Expulsion Laws

School suspension and expulsion laws are regulations that govern how schools can remove students from the classroom due to behavior issues, particularly those that threaten safety and security. Suspension typically means a temporary removal for a set period, allowing the student to return afterward. Expulsion is a more severe action, permanently removing a student from the school. These laws aim to maintain a safe learning environment while ensuring students’ rights are respected, often requiring schools to follow specific procedures and consider alternatives before taking such actions.
