It appears that T.K. may have been suspended for the balance of his senior year and received instruction at an alternate site. A dispute arose between petitioners and respondent concerning T.K.'s final grade in English. Correspondence and conversations between the parties ensued. It appears that T.K. began attending college in September 1993 and respondent planned to issue him a high school diploma upon completion of freshman English. This appeal followed.
Petitioners claim that respondent conducted an improper suspension hearing and request sanctions.
Respondent raises several procedural defenses, including failure to exhaust administrative remedies, untimeliness and mootness. Respondent also contends that it acted properly. Before reaching the merits, I will address the procedural issues. While there is little evidence in the record concerning the suspension generally, there is no evidence that petitioners sought respondent's review of the superintendent's determination. Because petitioners failed to exhaust their administrative remedies, this appeal must be dismissed.
