Can you get suspended from school for something did in the summer?

Generally, no. Schools typically only have jurisdiction over student conduct that occurs on school property, during school-sponsored events, or while traveling to and from school (depending on the specific school policies and the nature of the incident). Actions taken during the summer break, when school is not in session, are usually outside the school's authority to discipline.

However, there are potential exceptions:

* Serious offenses: If a student commits a serious crime during the summer that poses a threat to the school community (e.g., violence, possession of weapons), the school *might* take action upon their return, possibly involving suspension or other disciplinary measures. This is more likely to happen if the offense is directly related to the school or its community.

* Violation of school policies: Some school policies might extend beyond the school year. For instance, if a student violates a school's social media policy during the summer, and that violation is deemed serious enough, the school *could* potentially take disciplinary action.

* School-sponsored summer programs: If the infraction occurred during a school-sponsored summer program or activity, then the school *would* have the authority to impose discipline.

In most cases, though, summer behavior is outside the school's control and disciplinary reach. The legal implications are different for things handled by law enforcement versus school administration.
