When your child gets in trouble with school you have to move quick. Sometimes there are criminal charges involved as well. It is a whirlwind from the time you get the call from the school to pick your child up until you are sitting at a hearing where your child could be expelled. We understand your concern, school is vital and children need to be able to attend or get behind.
