What is a "school expulsion"?

Harvey Hoyo (President, California School Counselors Association) gives expert video advice on: What happens now that my child has been expelled from school?; Does the teacher have the right to hit my child? and more...

A school expulsion is a system that the school uses to say, "There's been previous interventions by the school, school counsellors, teachers. It has not worked. There is a serious offense now, perhaps involving a weapon brought to the campus." So an expulsion means that the child is removed from the school district, usually for a year's time, and the individual expelled is responsible to attend another school district, because there is not a safe environment for him at that current school district, so they are removing him. And so expulsion results from a very serious offense.
