    printer friendly version

    Question: Lets say I did something really bad outside of school, can the school punish me for it?

    Answer: Generally the things that you do outside of school will be handled by the juvenile authority in your area. The school would not normally be involved if you were being tried and/or punished in by a juvenile court.

    However, schools sometimes do get involved if you represent a safety issue for the students in your school. For example, if you have been caught fighting or being a member of a gang outside of school, the school might say that you now are a threat to other students and that they need to take action to protect the other students. Schools are responsible for overseeing the safety of their students, so they will get involved whenever they see a potential issue of harm to those students.

    That doesn't sound fair, but some administrators pass the boundary between what's right according to the law, and what they THINK is right. I new a principal of a charter school that expelled a kid from school for getting in trouble off school grounds.

    I feel that what goes on outside of school has no business at school, last year a girls car got keyed outside of school and they pulled me out of class and threatened to call the police if anything else happened to this girl's car simply on the fact that the girl knew i didn't like her..... so is that fair? is sure isn't i miss out of class reveiew time for a test so the innocent person get treated unfarily in the end
