STUDENT/DISCIPLINE: Provides relative to student disciplinary processes with respect to suspensions and expulsions
This Louisiana bill modifies student discipline procedures for suspensions and expulsions. It gives parents 5 days to request a school board review of expulsion recommendations and up to 10 school days to appeal to district court if the school board upholds the expulsion. The bill also repeals mandatory expulsion requirements for certain offenses. These changes directly affect parents and students in Louisiana public schools facing disciplinary action.
