What's inside

1. Appeal & Review Letters — every branch

California county-board appeal, New York's board-to-Commissioner ladder, and district grievance letters for the states where the deadline lives in district policy.

2. District-Deadline Finder Worksheet

Per-state document names, the paragraph to find, and the copy-it-down protocol that surfaces the deadline your state doesn't publish.

3. The Protective Appeal Letter

The send-today letter: dated, delivery-proofed, and written to make the district confirm its own deadline in writing.

4. MDR Demand + MDR Prep Checklist

The manifestation determination review: the federal 10-school-day clock, the only two questions it may answer, and what to bring.

5. Expedited-Hearing Explainer

The 20-school-day hearing, the 10-day decision, and the stay-in-the-interim-setting rule that surprises every parent (§300.533).

6. Hearing Prep Pack

What each forum decides, in plain words; the evidence packet; the witness and video preservation letter; the self-defense packet framed the way your jurisdiction actually treats it.

7. Records & Evidence Request Letters

The discipline record, the video, the witness statements — requested in writing before they disappear.

8. Re-entry, Readmission & Expungement Letters

The fight after the fight: getting back in, on what terms, and getting the record corrected or expunged where the law allows.

What this kit is not: If police or a court are involved in the same incident, talk to a lawyer before the school hearing — statements can travel. This kit is the paperwork and the rules, not legal representation.

The price, honestly

An advocate charges $150–$300 an hour. A lawyer consult costs more than this kit before anyone opens a file. The free checker on this site stays free and complete — the kit is for the parent who wants the paper done: every letter written, every checklist ready, every rule cited. $39, once.
