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.
