Accidental access to inappropriate websites on a school-issued account may not lead to expulsion, especially if the student has no prior infractions. Emphasize the accidental nature of the incident and review the schools policies on internet usage and disciplinary actions. Consider the severity of the infraction and the students history. If needed, prepare for a disciplinary hearing by gathering relevant information and explaining the context of the situation.
