I’ve been scheduled for an expulsion hearing – what are my rights at the hearing?

If you are recommended for expulsion, you must receive a fair hearing before you are expelled. Students have a number of rights including a right to notice of the hearing, the right to bring an attorney or other advocate to the hearing, the right to look at the school’s evidence, and a right to present evidence. The ACLU provides a comprehensive Fact Sheet on students’ school rights during suspensions, expulsions, and involuntary transfers.
