Bill Summary
An Act relating to schools; amending 70 O.S. 2021, Sections 6-149.7 and 24-101.3, which relate to student suspensions; subjecting certain students in grades three through five to school suspensions; mandating certain suspension and expulsion protocols for certain offenses; updating reference; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Oklahoma law to allow school suspensions for students in grades three through five who commit certain offenses, specifically assault, attempted assault, or actions that could reasonably cause bodily injury to a school employee or volunteer. For a first offense of this nature, students will receive a three-day in-school suspension; a second offense will result in a seven-day out-of-school suspension; and a third offense will lead to expulsion. The bill also updates references within the law and declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, rather than on the usual July 1st effective date.
