Door 2 · Suspension / Expulsion

The school punished my child. What happens next — and by when?

Suspension, expulsion, DAEP, 'sent home early' — the decoder shows you the federal clock, your state's rules, and which deadlines are in the law and which hide in your district's book.

The Discipline Decoder

Free, and honest in a way no other checker is: where the law gives no deadline, it says so — and hands you the letter that protects you anyway.

Included in the $39 Discipline Defense Kit

Why this checker refuses to invent a deadline

In most states, the number of days you have to appeal a suspension is not in state law at all — it is in a district policy document most parents never see, and in many districts each appeal level must be requested within days. Any tool that prints a confident single deadline for every state is making numbers up. This one tells you which deadlines are law (federal clocks, and state appeal deadlines where they truly exist — California's 30 days to the county board, New York's 30 days to the Commissioner) and walks you through finding the rest today, protected by a letter that starts your dispute on paper.
