Committee Report (Substituted)


DIGEST 

Currently, a school district receiving an expelled student from another
district only receives a copy of the student's records, a copy of the
expulsion order, and the referral order to the student's authorized
officer at the juvenile court.  School wishing to continue the terms of a
previous expulsion order may be unclear as to the authority they have to
do this.  This bill sets forth alternatives for a school district that
receives an expelled student from another district for continuing the
student's education. 

PURPOSE

As proposed, C.S.S.B. 410 sets forth alternatives for a school district
that receives an expelled student from another district for continuing the
student's education by allowing the district to continue the expulsion, to
place the student in an alternative education program, or to allow the
student to attend regular classes without completing the expulsion. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, institution, or agency.
