No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would entitle students to due process and representation at a hearing to remove a student to a disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP).  
 
The bill would require a principal to provide notifications to parents or guardians of a student's placement in a DAEP and of the student's right to appeal the placement.
