Expulsion

Expulsion is a disciplinary consequence that terminates the student’s education at the school; it involves a hearing in accordance with DoDEA Regulation 2051.1, Disciplinary Rules and Procedures, April 4, 2008. Expulsion may occur for single infractions that are particularly serious. Schools must inform parents in writing of the disciplinary hearings. The notification tells parents the reasons for the proposed expulsion. This includes the following: a description of the offense(s), the date and time of the hearing, the right to waive a hearing, the right to present witnesses and document evidence, the right to present evidence to reduce the consequences, the right to be represented by counsel or another representative, and the procedures for appeals.

Parents are given a copy of DoDEA Regulation 2051.1, Disciplinary Rules and Procedures. This regulation can be found at the DoDEA website. Students expelled from the school are provided the opportunity to obtain academic counseling at the closest DoD school and may be entitled to enrollment in a correspondence course or other appropriate alternate education program for the duration of the expulsion.

If an incident occurs with the last 2 weeks of school, the disciplinary action may carry over to the following school year. The disciplinary action may be imposed up to the first 2 weeks of the new school year.
