California A.B. 2242
Grounds for Suspension and Expulsion
From bill summary: Provides that, if the district superintendent or principal determines that a pupil has disrupted school activities or otherwise willfully defied the valid authority of supervisors, teachers, administrators, school officials, or other school personnel engaged in the performance of their duties, the pupil may be subject to other means of correction, community service during nonschool hours, or in-school suspension in a supervised suspension classroom, but not to an extended suspension, recommendation for expulsion, or expulsion. Moves the language relating to a pupil enrolled in grades 4-12 intentionally engaging in harassment, threats, or intimidation, directed against district personnel or pupils, to another code section in place of the language relating to a pupil disrupting school activities or otherwise willfully defying valid authority. Incorporates additional changes to Section 48900 of the Education Code proposed by AB 1729 (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_1701-1750/ab_1729_bill_20120921_chaptered.pdf) that would become operative if this bill and AB 1729 are enacted, and this bill is enacted last. Also incorporates changes to that section proposed by AB 1732 (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_1701-1750/ab_1732_bill_20120723_chaptered.pdf), which has been chaptered.
