Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal decision violated the right to be heard because the pupil was not invited to comment on the school authority's appeal.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The pupil should have been given an opportunity to respond; the omission was an obvious breach of the cantonal hearing rule and Article 29(2) BV.
Extrahierte Begründung
The school expulsion was a serious burden. Under the applicable cantonal procedure, affected persons must be heard unless an exception applies. No valid exception justified denying a response opportunity, and merely sending the file for information was insufficient.
