Student Discipline Tribunal Procedures and Appeals

When your child gets in trouble at school you have to act quickly. Sometimes there are criminal charges involved as well. It is a whirlwind from the time you get the call from the school to pick your child up until you are sitting at a hearing where your child could be expelled. At Oxendine & Sauls, we understand your concern, and realize that school is vital – obviously your child needs to be able to attend or he or she will get behind. It's important to hire lawyers who have knowledge about the school board of education's policies and procedures regarding discipline. Your child has rights that are required under the law. If you get a letter that your child is suspended pending a student discipline tribunal or hearing, it's important the attorneys you hire know the burden the school has to make its case. At Oxendine & Sauls, we have the knowledge and experience to help you.

It is also important to know if your child is found guilty of the charges against him or her that the timeline for filing an appeal is very quick. There are very strict procedural hoops you will have to jump through to get your appeal to the State Board of Education in a proper and timely manner. In these situations, Oxendine & Sauls can help you assess what your rights are. We also know what is necessary for the school to prove its case, or if an attorney is needed. We can help with every stage of this scary process that could end in expulsion. You must act quickly though, and make sure you are selecting your attorneys cautiously. At Oxendine & Sauls, we know what to do to help see you through school discipline tribunal procedures and appeals.
