What goes wrong with school disciplinary exhibits, and how it is handled
What goes wrongEmails and text messages are screenshots, and they are the heart of the case.
How ExhibitPrep handles itPDFs are stamped directly; PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, BMP, TIFF images become PDF pages first, so photographs and screenshots take a label in the same sequence as everything else.
What goes wrongThe parent and the district label exhibits differently, and yours need to show which side they come from.
How ExhibitPrep handles itThe Plaintiff's, Defendant's, Petitioner's, Respondent's and Defense Exhibit templates name the side in the stamp header; the label sequence, and any prefix such as D- or PX-, are set once and applied to every exhibit in the set.
What goes wrongStudent records are protected and should not be uploaded anywhere.
How ExhibitPrep handles itDocument bytes are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers.
What goes wrongYou have never prepared exhibits before and want to see the result before paying.
How ExhibitPrep handles itEvery stamped page is free to preview — the real stamped file, page by page. The download is the step you pay for.

What exhibits do I need for a school disciplinary hearing?
Most school disciplinary hearings require incident reports, the student's disciplinary history, witness statements, relevant communications (emails, texts), the school's code of conduct, and any IEP or 504 plan documents if the student has one. For HIB matters, include the investigation report and anti-bullying policy.
How should I organize evidence for a suspension appeal?
Organize exhibits chronologically: start with the incident report, then witness statements, communications leading up to and after the incident, the student's prior record, relevant school policies, and any character evidence. Number exhibits sequentially and include a table of contents for the hearing officer.
Can I use ExhibitPrep for IEP due process hearings?
Yes. Upload IEP documents, behavioral intervention plans, functional behavioral assessments, progress reports, and parent-school communications. ExhibitPrep stamps them with sequential exhibit numbers and can combine everything into a single PDF binder with a table of contents.
Are student records safe in ExhibitPrep?
ExhibitPrep processes all files in your browser. Student records, IEP documents, and other FERPA-protected information are never uploaded to our servers. Your files stay on your device from start to finish.
How do I prepare exhibits for a school board hearing?
Upload all evidence documents as PDFs. Use the batch stamping feature to label them as Exhibit 1, 2, 3 (or A, B, C). For large cases, use the trial binder feature to create a combined PDF with slipsheets separating each exhibit category.
ExhibitPrep formats documents; it does not provide legal advice or filing approval. Some guidance remains unverified. Citations support only their stated claims and scope. Review the finished files against current court instructions and case orders before filing. Check requirements and the finished PDF before filing.
