## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Education Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/education-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the administrator’s decision note, draft a notice that states the charges, the length of the suspension, and the chance to respond. The lawyer checks it against the record before it is sent. |
| What the lawyer must review | Goss v. Lopez requires, for a suspension of 10 days or less, oral or written notice of the charges and, if denied, an explanation of the evidence and an opportunity to present the student’s version. Generally that notice and hearing come before removal, unless immediate removal is justified because the student’s presence endangers persons or property or threatens disruption, in which case notice and hearing follow as soon as practicable. The administrator, not the tool, decides the suspension. The lawyer confirms the draft matches the decision and the state code. If the student has a disability, stop and apply 34 C.F.R. § 300.530 before the notice goes out. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the administrator’s decision note, draft a notice that states the charges, the length of the suspension, and the chance to respond. The lawyer checks it against the record before it is sent.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The notice becomes an education record. Do not draft it in a public tool.
- Goss does not authorise a suspension of more than 10 days on the same informal procedure. Longer removals need the additional process the state code and, where it applies, the IDEA regulation require.
