General
Procedure
Each appeal is first screened to determine whether special circumstances are present. All
appeals are first heard in-camera (written form only - Stage 1) and some are resolved at
that Stage. If the SAB is unable to give a positive judgment at Stage 1, and if the student
has requested an in-person hearing, the case is decided at a hearing at which the student
or a representative is able to present evidence and answer questions (Stage 2). Each
hearing lasts about 20 - 30 minutes.
This process resulted in the following action in 1998:
