                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to the period for which students are suspended from
    1-3  participation in extracurricular activities on account of grades.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Section 21.920(b), Education Code, is amended to
    1-6  read as follows:
    1-7        (b)  A student enrolled in a school district in this state
    1-8  shall be suspended from participation in any extracurricular
    1-9  activity sponsored or sanctioned by the school district during the
   1-10  first three weeks of the grade reporting period after a grade
   1-11  reporting period in which the student received a grade lower than
   1-12  the equivalent of 70 on a scale of 100 in any academic class.  The
   1-13  campus principal may remove this suspension if the class is an
   1-14  identified honors or advanced class.
   1-15        SECTION 2.  This Act applies beginning with the 1993-1994
   1-16  school year.
   1-17        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-18  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-19  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-20  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-21  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-22  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-23  passage, and it is so enacted.
