SB 667 Re-admission of suspended and expelled students to public schools.
Introduced by: Benjamin J. Lambert III | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Re-admission of suspended and expelled students to public schools. Requires local school boards by oral or written notice to notify the parent of a student who has been suspended for not more than 10 days from school of the length of the suspension, information regarding the availability of community-based educational programs, alternative education programs or other educational options, and, in the case of suspensions, of the student's right to return to regular school attendance upon the expiration of the suspension. The costs of any community-based educational program, or alternative education program or educational option, which is not a part of the educational program offered by the school division shall be borne by the parent of the student.
The parent of a student suspended for more than 10 days or expelled shall receive similar written information about educational and intervention programs and whether the student is eligible to return to regular school attendance or to attend an appropriate alternative education program approved by the school board or an adult education program during or upon the expiration of the expulsion and the terms or conditions of re-admission. If the school board determines the student to be ineligible to return to regular school attendance or to attend an alternative education program or an adult education program, the written notice must also advise the parent that the student may petition the school board for readmission after one calendar year from the date of his expulsion and of the conditions under which readmission may be granted. This bill is the recommendation of the Standing Joint Subcommittee on School Dropout Prevention.
