[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid told me that a kid was hit in the head with a chair. Horrifying. Expulsion should ensue if witnesses can corroborate this.[/quote]

I do not think expulsion exists.  Suspension does not really even exist.[/quote]

It’s against the law to expel a student from public school since the state has a duty to educate them. Mcps used to have several alternative schools for those who couldn’t behave in a traditional classroom. Because these schools turned out mostly black they were shuttered. Now they just keep them home for a week or switch schools.[/quote]

Exactly this. We have thrown out the baby with the bath water. The result is ghat kids who are potential shooters or have been expelled from other schools are just shuffled around with no real support or consequences.[/quote]

They can form a virtual program for those kids.  [b]They are required to provide an education, does not have to be in person[/b].  [/quote]

+1,000. Problem solved. If your kid won’t behave, enjoy having them back in your living room. [/quote]
 This plus mental health and family intentervention.[/quote]

The bold would be 100% illegal. Kids have a right to equal access to education.  If a child has a mood issu, that child should be evaluated and provided supports.  You can suspend them, you can provide alternative in person programming but you cannot simply say “you can never come back to school”.  Access to a free and appropriate public education is a civil right, and if you are offering in person school to the general population, you also have to offer it to “troublemakers” in some form.
