I'm so sorry to hear about your situation!

The law requires that they give him notice and a hearing (which they did) before expelling. Since that was the case, and since they still believed he engaged in misconduct, there wouldn't be a basis to sue them for a procedural violation.

The only thing that he could do is sue them for violating their own policies. This means that he would need to find proof that he was not masturbating at all. This means that he could sue the district and subpoena any of the witnesses to come testify to what he saw.

I would recommend a lawyer for something like this.

I don’t have any specific contacts; however, I can do the next best thing.
One thing I recommend is going through your state’s lawyer referral service (LRS). The LRS typically only lists experienced attorneys who have adequate staffing to assist people. Here it is for WA State - https://wsba.org/for-the-public/find-legal-help
Yelp.com is a surprisingly good place to find lawyers.
You can also find lawyer on the Legal Services Corporation website. The LSC is an independent non-profit organization authorized by Congress in 1974 to help people find legal aid services (https://www.lsc.gov/what-legal-aid/find-legal-aid).
Sometimes, the local law schools can provide free legal assistance, too. Yelp.com is a surprisingly good place to find lawyers.

You can also return to this site and ask questions to me as you go through this process to keep your costs down.

Did you have any other questions for me today?

Customer
