Q. Does 75 § 3334 §§ A (Lead) & 75 § 3309 §§ 1 (Lead) in PA carry any points for a NJ Driver? Do I contest?

December 4, 2024

A: I do not know the Pennsylvania statutes so I cant answer this fully, but I do know that NJ and PA both participate in the Compact Act which makes charges reciprocal.

For more information about same, please go to:

Q. Does Personal Injury Lawyer get a % of settlement if it’s not above the original insurance company offer?

November 27, 2024

A: Yes, he would be entitled to his fee, but since your child is a minor, Fee in NJ would only be 25%

Q. Can a school suspend my son if has an IEP

November 27, 2024

A: I don’t know how old your child is so this is kind of generalized;

In New Jersey, a school can suspend a student with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for up to 10 consecutive school days, as long as the suspension is not considered a change in placement. The school district must follow the same procedures for suspending a student with a disability as they would for a student without a disability. The principal must notify the student's parent(s) and case manager in writing, explaining the reasons for the suspension.

Preschool students with disabilities cannot be suspended or expelled.

If a student is suspended for 10 days or less, they must still receive educational services that meet the Core Curriculum Standards and are consistent with their IEP in home. If a student is suspended for more than 10 days, they must receive their Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). Your IEP team will/has to determine where the student will receive their FAPE.

You can appeal the suspension as the student has the right to a board hearing, where they can present a defense and the board must make a decision within five days of the hearing. If you disagrees with the board's decision, you can appeal it to the New Jersey Commissioner of Education within 90 days.
