Suspension

[Anonymous]

Does the college find out about it? Suspension was 10 days, reduced (to fewer days). Considered a "minor" offense and first offense; otherwise good student made stupid mistake. Anyone know about this type of thing? It is too late to get it removed. ie: too late for the school/county to deal with it, but will likely impact college admission. Anyone been through this?

The offense could not have been that minor if the suspension was for 10 days.

There is a thread about this in the college forum.

I spoke to our Vice Principal. He said it depends on the college. Some request the disciplinary record, however, most do not. Still he encouraged me to apply to have the suspension expunged after two years of no issues. Good luck.

Yeah, ten days? My DS was physically attacked and assaulted by another student, resulting in a concussion. And that kid's suspension was half that.

Not OP, but in my experience there is no correlation to the severity of the activity to the length of the suspension. It's entirely up to the the Principal or Vice Principal making the decision. Some are more strict than others even within the same HS.

Yes but a suspension out of line with the offense can be appealed (well, any suspension can be appealed). If a principal gives a two-week suspension to a student for something relatively minor, the parents can appeal it to the principal's supervisor. The counties have guidelines.

Yes and OP notes that it was reduced.

I'm hoping this OP is the OP of the expulsion thread and that the expulsion was reduced to a 10 day suspension, and OP is trying to see how the suspension will impact her kid. If so, I'm happy to you got it reduced.

One day served, so yeah, it was def NOT a physical attack.

OP here. Anything in our county (local) that is ten days or less, is considered a "minor" violation, for reference. It was a (very) minor violation, that is not up for debate, nor is the violation itself.

The question is: will the colleges know?

The offense sounds worse than it is, but it is definitely minor, and the school, etc. has already acknowledged that. It is more of a "token" charge. ie: something had to be charged, but it does sound worse than it is.

Actions have consequences. Your kid made bad choices.
