HB 1248 Pilot discretionary programs for certain students.
Introduced by: Thelma S. Drake | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Pilot discretionary programs for certain students. Establishes a grants program for pilot discretionary programs for disruptive elementary and middle school students who do not qualify for the alternative education programs established pursuant to § 22.1-209.1:2. “Disruptive student" is defined as a student whose behavior interrupts or obstructs the learning environment and results in two or more short-term suspensions or requires repeated intervention by school personnel. The Board of Education will establish criteria for these pilot discretionary programs which will require innovative approaches to resolving common disciplinary problems which occur among disruptive elementary and middle school students, such as nontraditional physical plants or locations, family involvement and participation, and nontraditional attendance patterns. All such innovative approaches must require, as a condition of enrollment, written agreements for parental involvement and participation in the programs. With such funds as may be appropriated for this purpose, five such grants may be awarded. Applicants must comply with the Board grant criteria; however, applicants may choose to include an interdisciplinary approach or a cooperative approach between the discretionary program and other local or state agencies and other programs or curricula within the relevant local school division or an adjacent school division. The applicants may ask for a waiver through the Board’s innovative programs waiver provided in the Standards of Accreditation.
