Legal Question
school code of conduct
is pushing a student away from
oneself in self defense be included
in the schools definition of a violent act? policy states hitting, kicking.
punching, and scratching . can a school legally suspend a child for pushing another child off himself to
avoid a physical altercation. my child was punched in the face and had his property damaged. both children recieved the same punishment. this happened in a public school. can they really do this? thank you in advance for your
help
