I must of missed this one, but surely it is up to the School as to how it deals with these matters?

The sub-panel, led by Deputy Trevor Pitman, is to review statistics and see if there have been noticeable increases in student suspensions in recent years.

Deputy Pitman said the panel would also look into whether the suspension policy in States schools was being applied fairly and consistently.

Islanders have been asked to submit their comments to the panel. They have until Friday 11 September to do so.

The panel will look into how students' education is supported during suspensions and if pupils' human rights are being respected.

Comments by members of the public can be submitted to the scrutiny office at Mourier House.

Will the panel also be looking at how other students education and human rights are supported whilst those behaving in a manner to warrant their suspension remain, if not suspended, in the school ?

perhaps the JDA smell future 'disenfranchised with society' voters ?
