Mention High School suspension to answer app question?

LSAT4234

For the question, "Have you ever been subject to academic warning, probation or suspension at a school, college, university or other educational institution?" is that talking about academic related issues after high school? I was suspended in high school for uploading some pictures online. I tagged one guy's name in the pictures(like what people do on Facebook) and I didn't get his consent so his family threatened to sue the school if the school didn't punish me even though I took down pictures with him in it when he asked me to(or according to this student friends, the school punished me on their own because the student "didn't ask" the school to punish me). The school accused me of putting the student "in danger" which I thought was ridiculous because people tag other people in online pictures all the time. Most importantly, I did not get any criminal charges for this.

With this context, would I have to disclose this?

NO, thankfully. That is not academically related. for example, plagiarism would be something to report on

I don't think you need to mention it, since you won't be submitting your high school transcripts and most law schools are only concerned with what you've done in college and beyond.

Yeah, the prompt does specify "academic warning, probation, or suspension" so that's not technically what happened. Many apps also caution us to go with full disclosure for anything we're not positive about. If I were you I'd run this by @david.busis at his upcoming webinar for admin advice: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/9940/webinar-last-minute-application-questions-tuesday-january-10th-9pm-est
