I forgot, was the kid adopted as an infant or was he still a foster kid. Only reason I ask is that if it is like Missouri, the school nor the foster parent can make the call, it is up to child services if the child is in foster care. If he was adopted, I believe it is up to the parent unless the kid has had other instances of behaviors at school that have led to suspensions. I could be wrong, but I don't believe the school can make the call to not allow someone in unless there were previous behavioral problems.

I know that with our last teenager, not the one I talked about earlier, he came to us in September, first day of school was the only day he didn't get in trouble. On the second day he got a four hour after school suspension, the next week he got suspended for a week an outburst in school. Once off that suspension, his first day back, same thing and they suspended him two weeks. When I went to the office he was even yelling at the principle that he would keep getting in trouble until they kicked him out. I sent him to the car with my wife and talked to the principle. I know for certain he wanted him out but he said they have to go through the procedures and the next steps were a six month suspension followed by some remote learning type of thing. Then and only then could they expel him if he got in trouble again. Needless to say, that bad behavior came home with him. Last week he got caught shoplifting at Walmart when he got away from my wife and because he has a history of that he was removed from our care and put into Department of Youth Services, which is similar to juvie. All that said, depending on the state and the type of situation, the school can't just make that call unless there is a history
