County Boards of Education set the rules on what electronic devices are allowed to be brought onto school campus. This is not a wiretapping issue as it does not concern collection of communications between humans.

Yes. Maryland can seize tax refunds for debts owed to the state. The CVU is the collection department of the state.

I am sure the college has some procedures and rules in place for handling disciplinary matters, if this is being handled as a school disciplinary or expulsion matter. If campus police are involved, then it is a criminal matter that will be handled through the local prosecutor's office in... Read more »

You may find this article informative on the subject, although it does not address any special statutory or other law in Maryland that may vary from the basic principal that a work made in the course and within the scope of employment generally belongs to the employer:... Read more »

You request a trial by filling in and mailing the request form portion of the ticket located on the lower right side of the sheet. Check the “trial” box, not the “waiver hearing.” If the officer does not show, you’ll be found not guilty. If they show, you plead not guilty and tell your... Read more »

This is a much more complicated question than it appears. For some purposes, school board employees are state employees, and for other purposes they are local government employees. Maryland school boards are an odd hybrid- and the appellate courts are still struggling with how to classify them.

This is the best way to document what is happening and to hopefully have administration swiftly take action.... Read more »

It's a whole other ballgame as to what kids can bring to school. If the knife is illegal in general, then potentially YES if he is charged as an adult. It sounds like they are going to charge him as a juvenile which is not a jail situation but could be reform school or similar. In our... Read more »

You should start by consulting your superiors. It doesn't seem like from this post you have grounds for a protective order. Or consult an attorney. More information is needed.

If you're seriously interested in starting a training school, in any industry, you need to get a lawyer. Everything from possibly incorporating your business, to licensing, to partnership contracts, investor contracts, compliance, etc. Too much to go over to answer on a forum.
