The main difference between suspension and expulsion is the amount of time a student must stay out of school. A suspension may only last for ten days, but an expulsion can last up to one year. Your child cannot be expelled if the school wants to expel your child for behaviors that are caused by your child’s disability. If the school is considering expulsion, it must hold a Planning and Placement Team (PPT) meeting first. Two things need to be decided at this PPT. During your expulsion, you do not have a right to any educational services from the school, unless you have an IEP. The school may decide to give you educational services during your expulsion, but it is up to the school board or administration. If you are expelled from one public school in Maine, you are expelled from every public school in Maine.

Expulsion, exclusion or withdrawing, refers to the removal/banning of a student from a school system or university for an extensive period amount of time due to a student persistently violating that institution's rules, or for a single offense of appropriate severity in extreme cases.

Students who breach an expulsion (visit the school after being expelled) will be arrested for, and charged with, trespassing.

State law governs the process and criteria for expelling students from school (CGS § 10-233d). A local school board seeking to expel a student must give him a hearing before doing so, unless the student is so disruptive or threatening that he must be removed from school before the hearing. In determining whether a student over age 16 is being expelled for the first time, the board must count any expulsions imposed on the student before he turned 16. The board's alternative education program for a student between 16 and 18 can include placement in an adult education program. If you have been suspended for more than 10 school days because of many shorter suspensions in a school year, call KIDS LEGAL or another lawyer. If your suspension is longer than 10 school days, you have a right to a formal hearing before the school board. This hearing has to happen before the 10 school days are up. Only the school board can suspend you for more than 10 school days. If you are expelled from one public school in Maine, you are expelled from every public school in Maine.

The student's planning and placement team must decide that question before an expulsion hearing can be held.
