United States
In the United States, expulsion criteria and process vary from state to state, though it is very difficult for a student to be expelled from school, except in cases of violence, sexual assault or drug use on school property. Following the Columbine shooting event and many "zero-tolerance" policies, schools have become increasingly willing to expel students for minor offenses in certain categories. Depending on local school board jurisdiction, approval from that school's local school board may be required before a student can be expelled, as opposed to a suspension, which may only require approval from the principal. Students are usually not expelled for academic violations such as plagiarism that would be punishable in college.
