This bill, by enacting R.S. 17:100.5(E), prohibits students in prekindergarten (pre-K) and kindergarten from being sent to an alternative school, which is a separate educational setting for students who have been removed from their regular school due to disciplinary issues, unless they are suspended or expelled for serious offenses. These serious offenses are specifically defined as infractions involving drugs, weapons, assault, or battery, as outlined in another Louisiana law (R.S. 17:416).
