What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia, my son punched another student in the nose, my son gave the student 3 warnings to get out of his face and then punched the student. My son was give a 3 day suspension. However, the parents are now threatening legal action, this incident happened in feb '09. The amount they are telling us to pay is 200.00, could you tell me what our rights in this case would be. Thanks for any help. My son is 13 and has never had any other incidents or problems in school and is AB honor roll student.
