The Expulsion Process
If your child is facing a threatened expulsion from high school, you are probably confused or lost by the form letter you received from the administrator in charge of student discipline. Additionally you are probably unaware of the options legally available to you. This is the time to consult an attorney to clarify what your family is facing and to explore all available options.
The Defense of The Student
Expulsion proceedings are begun by school officials when they believe that your child violated a behavioral rule while at school or at a school activity. The California Education Code contains a list of prohibited conduct. It is important that you hire an attorney experienced in defending clients against allegations of misconduct. It is also important that the attorney you select to represent your family has experience in the educational field.
