expulsion is the most severe form of punishment. it terminates the student's education at the given school. this is the last resort, when all other methods of discipline have failed. however, in extreme situations, it may also be used for a single offense, such as setting fires on campus, the activation of false alarms,or assault and battery against faculty and staff members,or school administrators. in some cases, there are special schools for the pupuls that have been excluded from other schools.
