Summary: Joined by Christina Peer, a partner at Walter Haverfield, Lisa and Miriam begin a three-part series on discipline. In today's episode, we explore the Due Process rights all students are entitled to and take a look at some common challenges that school districts encounter in meting out disciplinary consequences. Imagine a group of children fighting in the cafeteria. You've decided that Bobby is the troublemaker and would like to suspend him immediately. What steps must you take first? What are your deadlines? What will courts look at if Bobby's parents challenge your decision? Christina, Lisa, and Miriam practice education law at Walter Haverfield in Cleveland, Ohio. Drop us a line, let us know what you thought, and what education-related legal topics you'd like to hear about in future episodes!
