## 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 record index, list the charges, the evidence the school gave, the student’s version, and the dates. The lawyer writes the submission that is sent to the district or board. |
| What the lawyer must review | For a suspension of 10 days or less, Goss v. Lopez requires notice of the charges, an explanation of the evidence if the student denies them, and an opportunity to present the student’s version. The Court did not itself create a board appeal for that short suspension. An expulsion or a longer removal is governed by the state education code and the district’s rules, which the lawyer opens. If the submission is later filed in court, Rule 11 applies and the lawyer writes the filing. Education records in the draft stay out of public tools under FERPA and Rule 1.6. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the record index, list the charges, the evidence the school gave, the student’s version, and the dates. The lawyer writes the submission that is sent to the district or board.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not cite an Australian education-department review. Name the district’s own appeal step only after reading it.
- A student with a disability may also have the IDEA procedure in 34 C.F.R. § 300.530. That is a separate task.
