AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 17:416(C)(4) and (5)(a) and to repeal R.S. 17:416(C)(2)(c), relative to student discipline; to provide relative to the authority of parents to request reviews of expulsion decisions by the school board and the district court; to remove certain requirements relative to mandatory expulsions; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Louisiana law regarding student disciplinary processes, specifically concerning suspensions and expulsions. It clarifies that parents or legal guardians of a student recommended for expulsion will not have the right to appeal that decision to the school board or the district court if the expulsion recommendation is instead reduced to a short-term or long-term suspension. The bill also repeals a specific provision related to mandatory expulsions, removing certain requirements that previously mandated expulsions in some cases. The intent is to provide more defined pathways for parental review of disciplinary actions while also adjusting the conditions under which such reviews are permitted.
