He got caught with a thc pen at school he is 4 months away from turning 18 can he be tried as an adult?
He cannot be tried as an adult although charges could be brought in juvenile court. If he has no record, probably a dismissal or diversion is your end result.
Most school districts have a minimum age requirement. Since I am not sure what school district you are a student of, I am unable to provide you with an answer. Generally speaking, a student who has reached the age of 18 can withdraw without parental permission.
I encourage you to stay in... Read more »

Your issues sound very complicated. I do not think that you should follow legal advice on the internet with your facts. You should sit down with an attorney who can properly evaluate your details and issues. You may well have rights to go to your kids school however. But, you need to make sure... Read more »
In an elementary school the parent pick up line starts to form more than 90 min before the students are released at the end of the day. The line is very long and the PTA has auctioned off the first two spots in the front of the line for the two parents (with the highest bid) to arrive anytime... Read more »
I don't hear anything illegal about what you have described. As long as the school's administration approves and there are no safety or traffic laws broken, the PTA can auction off those coveted spots. On the other hand, enforcement may prove interesting!

If a school gives you less than 30 minutes (as a student) for lunch period, is that illegal?
Sad to say: Yes! States have given schools great discretion and latitude, and your school can make their own lunch time rules. There's nothing illegal about that.

I am taking a class in public school law.
A place to start might be to look into the Americans with Disabilities Act and related state legislation, and possibly how building codes and fire & public safety codes address these issues. Good luck

I'm not sure what BCA is supposed to be, but your parents are allowed to discipline you for leaving school without their permission if they so choose.
Chapter751 order or he will be kicked out at Christmas break. He is 5 years old. What can we do? Please help. Thanks!
Call DFC and ask them for help.
It could be. The note, even if accepted, might have excused absence from class, and would have covered attendance-based factors in the course grade. But other factors could have played a role. Speak with academic advisor to explore whether anything could still be done at this point. Good luck... Read more »
A North Carolina attorney familiar with education law, or an educational administrator could probably tell you. But your question remains open for three weeks. Don't drop out. You don't need an attorney to tell you that. Finish school and get a diploma, or things are so bad at your school, at least... Read more »

6 months to file a Tort Claim, before a lawsuit is filed, for claims based on state law. Two years for claims based on federal law, and potentially extended until your 20th birthday.
A lot depends on the evidence, the perpetrator and the timing
Without knowing the exact words I can render an opinion.
Also when speaking to the the teacher, ask the teacher if the correct word is threat or threaten
The question is a little confusing, but I am assuming that since there is no court order and you refer to a non-custodial parent, that the parents were never married. In Arkansas, the mother of a child born outside of wedlock automatically has custody of him or her. The father has to establish... Read more »
Im a Licensed Teacher and wanted to move in Florida and to continue my career there. What are the steps that i should have to follow? And Is there a possible that i can petition myself?
You need to find a school district that is willing to act as your sponsor.
Because it is a juvenile, the punishment is limited, and if it was just reported to the school and didn't involve police then the criminal statute below might not apply.

It shall be unlawful to willfully, knowingly and without probable cause make a false report... Read more »
