The students presence in school presents a physical danger to the student or others;
Your going to have to read the rules yourself.. That line is under Outdoor Suspensions.

I wouldn't argue with this subject with anyone, I want to know if something was going on with this child. EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
This child is dead and I want to know WHY!! THE WHOLE WHY, NOT SOMEBODIES OPINION
Interesting that you only quote that ONE line from the Dade County Schools handbook and leave off all the rest:
"A principal may suspend a student from school for one (1) to ten (10) days for
persistent disobedience and/or serious misconduct. Principals take this action
when they have exhausted informal corrective strategies, or when they have at least
considered those alternatives and rejected them as inappropriate in a given
situation.
Outdoor suspension is appropriate under the following conditions:
The students presence in school presents a physical danger to the student or others;
A cooling off period is needed to relieve tensions and relieve pressure; and/or
The student and/or parent/guardian refuse an alternative to suspension.
A suspended student has the right to request and obtain make-up assignments for
the time he or she was suspended from school. It is the responsibility of the student
to request make-up work for assignments missed due a suspension.
A suspended student is entitled to be notified of the reason for suspension and an
opportunity to be heard. Parents/Guardians must be provided notice within 24
hours by U.S. mail."
jmo, imo and all that jazz
Also have to say that is the first time I have ever heard it called "Outdoor Suspension", always heard it referred to as "Out of School Suspension". Makes it sound like the student is expected to spend the entire suspension on a camping trip or something, LOL. Again jmo, imo and all that jazz
