Akron Student Disciplinary Law Attorney

Fighting For Students Rights in Cuyahoga County 

If you or your student has been suspended or expelled from their school, you must gain an understanding of the laws and procedures associated with the specific circumstance. In today's society, obtaining a degree is an essential element to standing out in the world and becoming successful. Many students are held back from achieving this goal because of a disciplinary sanction from a violation of a school principle.

Disciplinary Laws in Ohio

Suspension refers to the temporary removal of a student from his or her school for a violation of a school policy or rule. Typically, suspensions are imposed by the school principal and usually last for a maximum of 10 days. Expulsions are more permanent removals and are consequences of serious school policies. Disciplinary codes at each school may vary from one another. Under Ohio law, however, expulsions can last up to a maximum of one year. Your situation may require legal representation from an experienced lawyer.
