School Disciplinary Exhibit Checklist FAQ
What should I bring to a school disciplinary hearing?
Bring the incident report, your child's disciplinary history, any communications with the school about the incident, witness statements, the school's code of conduct, and — if your child has an IEP or 504 plan — all special education records including the manifestation determination.
How far in advance should I start gathering documents?
Start immediately when you receive the hearing notice. File a FERPA records request with the school the same day. Schools have up to 45 days to respond, but most hearings happen within 10-14 days. Follow up in writing if you don't receive records within a week.
Do I need different documents for an HIB hearing vs. a suspension appeal?
HIB hearings specifically require the investigation report, anti-bullying policy, and any prior HIB complaints. Suspension appeals focus more on the incident itself, the student's prior record, and whether the school followed its own disciplinary procedures. Both need communications and witness statements.
