Suspensions in PA

This fact sheet applies to all public schools, including charter schools, in Pennsylvania. If a school district or charter school seeks to suspend your child, here are important things you should know. A suspension is an exclusion from school for one to 10 school days in a row. Even a suspension for part of a day constitutes one day of suspension. A suspension may be imposed by a principal or other person in charge of a school. (August 2024)
