Bill overview
This bill revises the process for schools to determine if a student, particularly those experiencing homelessness or in foster care, is a habitual disciplinary problem. It requires schools to hold a meeting with specific individuals – including an educational decision maker – before considering suspension or expulsion. The bill also adjusts the suspension rules for homeless or foster care students, allowing for 5-day suspensions without considering homelessness or foster care status, but requiring a review within 10 days to assess the impact of these circumstances. It further clarifies the continuation of temporary alternative placements and mandates ongoing communication with relevant parties.
