Special schools do exist for aggressive children and children with difficulties, however "to be suspended" does not indicate being sent to "a special school".
In a different context, the verb "to suspend" can mean "to hang" something from a hook or surface. Example: The coats were suspended on hooks above the fireplace to dry. However, in the context of schools, to be suspended is to be temporarily banned or forbidden from returning to school.
In the context of schools, universities and other academic institutions, to "expel" means to "force to leave" or "to eject". Expelling a student from school is a permanent decision. Example: Horatio was expelled from the country club for refusing to wear clothes. To "expel" is not the same as to "suspend", which is a temporary act.
To "suspend" means to temporarily bar or stop someone from doing something, usually as a punishment. To be suspended is to be put on probation. Example: The soccer player was suspended from the next match after tackling the referee. "To forbid" is to command someone NOT to do something. In this context the term "indefinitely" describes a period without precise or defined limits.

If someone is "made redundant", then their job no longer exists, usually because the company is in financial difficulty and needs to save money. Example: "Many miners were made redundant during the 1980s". This does not share a similar meaning with "to be suspended".
This is the best choice here. To be suspended means to be prevented from doing something for a period of time. Here's another example: "the marketing director has been suspended following accusations of theft". Children are often "suspended from school" if they behave badly. To be "prevented from doing something" is to have to "stop" doing it.
If someone is "fired", they are "given the sack" or told to leave their job permanently. A firing is not temporary, and it does not mean the same thing as "suspension".
