I thought after 10 days of suspension you get an expulsion hearing.

It depends. If the “child” has any qualifying “handicaps”, i.e. has an IEP (Individual Education Plan) then long suspensions for almost any cause become difficult for schools to administer. Expulsions are pretty much out of the question. If the lad is handicapped schools are obliged to provide services until the age of 21 or graduation.

I know that schools get paid for every warm body, but believe me, there are some “students” that aren’t worth the money they bring in. Don’t forget also that schools are under pressure from the DOE/DOJ to not discipline certain “over-represented” groups.

Which should not be a requirement.

Absolute nonsense.
