Requires certain procedures for charter school students facing suspension
This bill (S 6950) requires charter schools to follow the same suspension procedures for students as public schools, ensuring consistency in due process. It amends education law to clarify that charter schools must use their board of trustees (not a public school board) when applying suspension rules under Section 3214. The law specifically states students can only be suspended in line with public school due process requirements, and charter schools cannot deny admission to students suspended from public schools until that suspension period ends. This affects all charter schools and their students by standardizing disciplinary processes.
