Re: Expelled last 6 weeks of school

He got expelled...he's not "entitled" to much if he didn't have enough credits to graduate already.

Further,m he should be studying and earning credits whether or not he is physically at the school,--there should be an alternative educational environment for suspended students, even though he was expelled.

Sit down with your son's guidance counselor and work through the credits, so there's no doubt and everyone is working with the same information: he might be allowed to march but not receive his diploma until completing summer school.

See what you can work out.
