1999 SESSION
SB 1136 Student expulsions.
Introduced by: Janet D. Howell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Student expulsions. Modifies the “zero tolerance” law, which mandates one-year expulsions for students bringing weapons on school property or to school-sponsored events, to permit school boards, by regulation, to authorize the division superintendent or his designee to conduct a preliminary review of such cases to determine whether a disciplinary action other than expulsion is appropriate. These regulations are to ensure that any such “other” subsequent disciplinary action is to be taken in accordance with the due process procedures set forth in § 22.1-277. Currently, a school board may determine that “special circumstances” exist in these weapons possession cases and that another disciplinary action is more appropriate.
