New poster here.  I would not want this paraeducator around him either.   I'm not excusing what he did.  But there is no reason to keep them together.

Also, I'm surprised he was suspended.   I thought MCPS' new policies were to limit as much as possible any chance of out-of-school suspension, because it doesn't do anything to help the kid do better.  While I could see it for an older bigger child, I don't get it, from a safety perspective, for a 2nd grader.

Their regulations state that suspension should not be used for kids pre-K through 3rd grade.   Four days is considered a long-term suspension.

I honestly would appeal it.  Because it's so unusual.   You appeal first to the Principal, and then to the Director of Pupil Personnel and Attendance Services.

Again, I'm not excusing it.  I personally would talk to a psychologist and/or get your kid therapy.  Not that there's something inherently wrong with him.  But therapy can help increase better frustration tolerance and teach appropriate behavior.

Here are the regs.
