§ 20-33-8-23 — Suspension pending expulsion decision

The superintendent or the person designated
by the superintendent under section 19(a) of this chapter may continue
suspension of a student for more than the ten (10) school day period of
the principal's suspension and until the time of the expulsion decision
under section 19 of this chapter if the superintendent or the designated
person determines that the student's continued suspension will prevent
or substantially reduce the risk of:
(1) interference with an educational function or school purposes;
or
(2) a physical injury to the student, other students, school
employees, or visitors to the school.
However, a student may not be suspended from school pending a
meeting on a student's proposed expulsion if the expulsion is ordered
under section 17 of this chapter.
