Review any school board policy and student handbook of your local public school site or district for information regarding their policies on short- and long-term suspensions of students.
Write a 500-750-word essay summarizing:
1. The due process requirements prior to a short-term and a long-term suspension of a student at your local site or district.
2. Are the due process procedures for a short-term and a long-term suspension of a student the same or different?
3. Are these requirements consistent with Goss v. Lopez? Support your position with examples from case law, the U.S. Constitution, or other readings.
4. Mention the due process for students with IEP as well as 504. Are they different rules other than the students in the general population or is there a difference for IEP/504 students?
