Re: school suspension
I note by your ZIP code that you are in Seaford, NY.
NY State law provides that a Principal may suspend a student for up to five (5) school days.
The parent or guardian is entitled to a hearing.
Disruptive classroom behavior is certainly a valid reason. Has the school been in contact with you prior to the suspension to change the behavior? If not, you may have a valid basis to request that other actions precede the suspension, which should be the last resort.
