Kentucky H.B. 688

Behavior Which Constitutes a Threat

Relates to expelled or suspended students. Defines "behavior which constitutes a threat" (and as such, allows a board to place a student in a state-funded agency program) as including assault, battery or abuse of others; the threat of force; being under the influence of drugs or alcohol; the use, possession, sale, or transfer of drugs or alcohol; or the carrying, possessing, or transfer of weapons or dangerous instruments; and any other behavior which may endanger the health or safety of others. Authorizes a local board to adopt a policy providing that if a student is suspended or expelled for any reason, or faces charges that may lead to suspension or expulsion but withdraws prior to a hearing, from any public or private school in this or any other state, the receiving district may review the details of the charges, suspension, or expulsion and determine if the student will be admitted, and if so, what conditions may be imposed upon the admission.
