S7:E5 Connecticut Juveniles, School Related Discipline, and Arrests.

Attorney Jill Ruane talks about the intersection of school discipline and the juvenile justice system in Connecticut. This episode of our podcast focuses on how you may not have as many protections in Connecticut schools as you may think!

A few common school issues that your Connecticut teen might face include:

• Academic misconduct
• Violating safety policies
• Cyberbullying or bullying
• Vaping

Some of these issues may be handled by the school internally, but in some situations, the police might get involved as well. In these cases, your teen will face disciplinary action from the school, which might include detention, suspension, or even expulsion, and they will also face legal consequences from the juvenile justice system such as mandatory classes, probation, community service, or even time in a juvenile facility.

This episode will provide more information on school related issues, your child's rights in school, and how to protect your child if they face a school issue.
