Susan Luger Associates’ special education advocates and
affiliated attorneys are experienced in representing students
involved in disciplinary proceedings. They will aggressively
guard your child’s rights at disciplinary hearings on matters
involving such accusations as:
If your child has been accused of violating school policy, he or
she may have the right to one or more of the following:
We do not recommend going to these proceedings yourself; nor
do we recommend representation by someone not familiar with
Special Education law and the IDEA. The penalty can be as
severe as removal from school or placement in a specialized
school setting. We can ensure that your child’s case is heard,
that his or her rights are respected and that the punishment (if
any) is within the confines of the law. We will aggressively
present persuasive evidence and witnesses and negotiate
skillfully on your behalf.
Repeated in-school or out-of-school suspensions are often an
easy solution used by school officials to punish your child.
Schools often fail acknowledge their own responsibility in the
event(s) that led to the disciplinary proceeding. Thus repeated
suspensions are usually not an adequate answer to recurring
disciplinary problems. Often, a more creative solution is called
for.
We are aware that parents are often concerned about creating
a negative relationship with the school. We will do everything we
can to encourage a continued positive relationship between you
and the school district when possible without giving up any rights
afforded to your child by the law.
