May Expel Exulsion

In the case of certain factual allegations that form the basis of a charge for expulsion, the recommendation for expulsion can only be based if one or both of the following exits:

1. Other means of correction are not feasible or have repeatedly failed to bring about proper conduct.

2. Due to the nature of the act, the presence of the pupil causes a continuing danger to the physical safety of the pupil or others.

In order to defend against an expulsion, it is therefore important to know what the specific types of behavior intervention the school district has implemented in the past consist of, how long those interventions were attempted, who implemented those interventions and when they were implemented.
