HB 726 Students; suspension and expulsion, continuation of curriculum.
Introduced by: Jennifer L. McClellan | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Suspension and expulsion of students; continuation of curriculum. Requires that each student who is suspended or expelled from attendance shall be afforded the opportunity to continue to progress in the curriculum of the school division during the suspension or expulsion. The bill requires all committees of the school board, division superintendents, school principals, assistant principals, and teachers considering disciplinary action for a student to exercise discretion, consider ways to reengage the student in the learning process, and consider all alternatives to suspension or expulsion before suspending or expelling a student. The bill also requires any student who is suspended for more than 10 days cumulatively in a school year to receive a plan of positive behavioral interventions, strategies, and supports to address the student's behavior so that it does not continue to impede the student's learning or other students' learning.
