Character Reference Student Expulsion

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing on behalf of my {relationship}, {Name}, a student facing expulsion from {High School Name}.

I was shocked and dismayed to learn of the offense alleged against {Name}. Never in all my {years} of knowing them would I have imagined that they would stand accused of {possession of substance/theft/property damage/bullying/harassment/threats/etc.}.

After speaking with {Name}, I am convinced that they are truly remorseful, the incident is not a reflection on their true character, and this will never happen again. Moreover, {mitigating circumstances}.

{Name} is a {strength/GPA} student, with plans to attend college. They are heavily involved in {sports/clubs/volunteering/etc.}.

I urge you to review the state Education Code and exercise your discretion regarding the categories of expellable offenses. I believe you will find that {suspension/alternate punishment} will send the same message, without the disastrous results to {Name}’s future.
