Can secondary students be expelled from schools if they have a fight but are not in school uniform and the is on property?

Yes, secondary students can be expelled from school for fighting, even if it occurs off school grounds, and even if they are not in uniform. While the specific consequences depend heavily on school policies, district policies, and state laws, fighting is generally considered a serious offense that can lead to suspension or expulsion.

The fact that they weren't in uniform doesn't negate the severity of the act. Schools often hold students accountable for their behavior even when off school property if that behavior negatively impacts the school environment or involves other students. The location of the fight (on school property) makes it even more likely that expulsion would be considered.

However, the exact punishment will depend on factors such as:

* Severity of the fight: Was it a minor scuffle or a serious assault?

* Prior disciplinary record: Does the student have a history of behavioral problems?

* School policies: What does the school's code of conduct say about fighting and off-campus behavior?

* State laws: Some states have stricter laws regarding school discipline than others.

* Circumstances surrounding the fight: Was it self-defense? Was it provoked?

In short, while not guaranteed, expulsion is a definite possibility. The student is likely to face significant disciplinary consequences.
