School Discipline Appeals

Does a teacher have the right to kick a student out of class?

No, expelling from class restricts the student's right to education. The school must use other methods of temporary isolation ensuring safety.

Can I change schools during disciplinary proceedings?

Yes, a parent has the right to transfer the child to another school at any time, which automatically stops the disciplinary proceedings at the previous school.

Where can I appeal the principal's decision?

First to the School Board of Trustees, and then to the court.

What is the statute of limitations for disciplinary misconduct?

Generally, disciplinary proceedings cannot be initiated after the end of the academic year.

Appealing School Disciplinary Decisions

In schools (both public and private), disciplinary decisions such as suspension from class, restrictions on school grounds, or other sanctions are often subjective and violate student rights. Legislation strictly defines that disciplinary punishment cannot be humiliating or physical. Parents have the right to appeal the decision of the school's disciplinary committee if they disagree with the factual circumstances or believe the punishment is disproportionate. Often, schools fail to follow procedural norms: they do not listen to the student, do not inform the parent, or make decisions without evidence.

This service helps parents protect their children from unfair punishment. Our lawyers ensure the preparation of an appeal to the school's appellate board or transferring the dispute to the Ministry of Education and the courts.
