If your child is expelled from school, there will be a formal meeting held, usually at the district office. At that time, it's imperative that you ask that question, because you will receive some guidance. Usually there is a contract that is established at that meeting, set parameters: your child has to attend some counseling, your child has to behave in a certain way, your child has to bring a report card back that says that he's behaving satisfactorily in a school setting. There's a contract. Usually after that contract expires -- usually after a year -- you come back to the expulsion committee, you present the evidence, then he would be welcomed back. Or if the contract hasn't been fulfilled, he may be expelled again for another year.
