Bill Summary

EDUCATION -- Amends existing law to provide that school board hearings on student discipline must be held in executive session.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to provide that school board hearings on student discipline, including expulsions and denials of enrollment, must be held in executive session. This means the student will not be named in the meeting minutes, and the decision will be recorded in the student's educational record instead. The bill also allows the school board to extend a temporary student suspension for an additional 5 days if they find the student's immediate return would be detrimental to other students' health, welfare, or safety, and requires the suspension procedure to afford the student privacy.
