Overview
This bill updates procedures for student expulsions in California schools.

The plan must be tailored to the student’s needs and ensure access to necessary resources, prohibiting financial barriers to readmission. Furthermore, the bill mandates county-level plans to provide educational services to expelled students and requires districts to track expulsion data and provide written notice to parents.
