Permanent Record When a student receives a suspension, it is typically documented in their school record. This record can follow the student throughout their academic career, potentially influencing future educational and career opportunities.

The main goal of ISS is to have students stay caught up on work and get help with any difficulties they are having.

I recommend that you start by appealing the suspension with the school district. If the school district upholds the suspension, you can file a complaint with the state education department or hire a local education attorney to represent your son.
Supporting the School's Decision Be supportive of your child but enforce the school's decision. Make sure your child sticks to a routine while they are out of school. Ensure your child completes their schoolwork while they're suspended. Teach your child new coping skills. Follow up with the school as needed.
