Montana H.B. 332
Two prongs: Discipline & Location of School Board Meetings
Allows school board trustees to meet outside district boundaries for purpose of collaboration with other boards, agencies or collaboratives; expands the disciplinary powers of school administrators; clarifies the laws governing student suspensions. Because state law prohibits business being transacted by the trustees of a district unless it is transacted at a regular meeting or a properly called special meeting, expands the definition of ."unforeseen emergency" from a storm, fire, explosion, community disaster, insurrection, act of God, or other unforeseen destruction or impairment of school district property that affects the health and safety of the trustees, students, or district employees to include "or the educational functions of the district or violation of the student code of conduct, as defined in accordance with district policy, within a week of graduation." http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2009/billpdf/HB0332.pdf
