Facing Disciplinary Action at Your New School? The Lento Law Firm Can Help.

Posted by Joseph D. Lento | Feb 03, 2024 | 0 Comments

Starting at a new school can be an exciting but challenging experience for any student. Adjusting to a new environment, making new friends, and managing academics can be overwhelming. Unfortunately, sometimes, things don't go as smoothly as planned, and students find themselves in trouble with school authorities. Disciplinary action can have both short- and long-term consequences that can derail your plans for your future, adversely affecting your academic progress and creating undue stress and anxiety.

Disciplinary actions can also become a part of your permanent school record, affecting your future college and career opportunities. Many colleges and universities ask about disciplinary history when reviewing applications, and a blemished record can hurt your chances of admission. Some employers may also ask about your school discipline history when considering job applications.

If you get in trouble at your new school, don't sit back and take the punishment they handed out. Hire the Lento Law Firm and let our Student Defense Team fight to get you the best possible outcome in your case. Contact the Lento Law Firm's Student Defense Team by calling 888.535.3686 or using our contact form.

Types of Discipline You May Face

Schools can take various disciplinary actions against students when they violate school rules or policies. These actions can vary in severity depending on the claims made against you and whether you have a history of trouble. Some disciplinary actions you may face include:

  • Verbal warning
  • Written warning or referral
  • Loss of privileges
  • Parent meetings
  • Detention
  • Suspension
  • Expulsion
  • Alternative school placement

While discipline may be warranted in some situations, it should be proportionate to the severity of the behavior. Students facing issues in middle school, high school, and college have rights that should be respected throughout the process. This is where a lawyer experienced in student defense can be priceless.
