Text

The general assembly hereby finds that
except when a student's behavior would cause imminent harm to others in the
school or when an incident requires automatic expulsion as defined by state law or
a school's conduct and discipline code, expulsion should be the last step taken
after several attempts to deal with a student who has discipline problems. The
general assembly further finds that school districts should work with the student's
parent or guardian and with state agencies and community-based nonprofit
organizations to develop alternatives to help students who are at risk of expulsion
before expulsion becomes a necessary step and to support students who are
unable to avoid expulsion.
