ALT Know your rights - Education Stability. Even when suspended from school, students still have the right to continue their education by accessing assignments and missed lessons. The school system must provide the suspended student with "comparable educational services and appropriate behavioral support services to promote successful return to the student's regular academic program."

ALT Know your rights - Education Stability. Schools are required to follow proper procedure when using exclusionary discipline. However, some students face exclusionary discipline that does NOT follow guidelines. Being physically removed for breaking school rules, kicked out of a regular classroom, told to go to the front office for the rest of the day, or to in-school suspension (ISS), told to go home for the day, or told you cannot enter the building are all exclusionary discipline.
