<p>But, if the highschool isn’t going to disclose this, I don’t understand why the student would disclose it. It makes no sense to me.</p>
<p>The school instituted a punishment and then wiped the record.</p>
<p>I mean, if you apply for a job and you had a substance violation at one point but the courts gave a probationary community service sentence and then it was expunged from the record, you aren’t expected to state that you once had a substance violation.</p>
<p>If you have a violation at work and HR reprimands you, but it isn’t in writing, you aren’t expected to reveal this to your next potential employer.</p>
<p>Why are high school students a special case?</p>
