SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Expulsion of students for certain drugs offenses.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Expulsion of students for certain drugs offenses. Permits the school board to expel from school attendance any student whom the school board has determined to have brought a controlled substance, imitation controlled substance, or synthetic cannabinoids onto school property or to a school-sponsored activity. Under current law, the school board is required to expel such students unless the board determines that special circumstances exist and another disciplinary action is appropriate.
