How long does a record of the punishment of a school violence perpetrator remain in the school record?

Hello. I am a second-year high school student. A few days ago, a classmate reported me as a school violence perpetrator. The school violence committee has not been convened yet, but honestly, there are parts I feel are unfair. If I am punished as a school violence perpetrator, what kind of punishment would I receive? And if I am punished as a school violence perpetrator, does it remain in the school record? If it does, I would be grateful if you could also tell me how long it remains.

You have asked about the punishment of a school violence perpetrator. A school violence perpetrator may receive various dispositions according to the decision of the school violence deliberation committee.

Lighter dispositions such as a written apology, a prohibition of contact and retaliatory acts and the like may be received, but measures separating the perpetrator from the victim, such as a class change, transfer to another school, or expulsion disposition may also be implemented.

However, the punishment of a school violence perpetrator may vary depending on the matter, and multiple measures may be imposed simultaneously.

For this punishment of a school violence perpetrator, the period recorded in the school record has become even longer since March 2024.

Dispositions from No. 1 to No. 3 are deleted upon graduation, but No. 4 and No. 5 are not deleted even after graduation for up to 2 years.

For No. 6 through No. 8, deletion is impossible for up to 4 years after graduation, so the period has become even longer than before, and the expulsion disposition, which is No. 9, cannot be deleted.

You mentioned that you are a high school student, and if you are punished as a school violence perpetrator, it is likely to inevitably affect your college admissions as well.

Therefore, we recommend identifying in advance the factors that can reduce the punishment and responding to the school violence committee on that basis.
