| CO | Died 04/1995 | P-12 | This bill enables districts to create alternative schools to teach expelled or suspended students, K-12. Council staff is working with a variety of disability community members concerned about students with disabilities. Such a placement could occur if a student's disruptive activities are determined not due to his or her disability. Also it may occur for students that do not have an identified disability. H.B. 1317 places such students at-risk for modeling disruptive behavior, and having teachers that are not appropriately trained for teaching students with disabilities.

| NJ | Active 01/1995 | P-12
Community College | (Effective: 01/31/95) Alternative education programs for potentially dangerous students are expected to be in most of NJ's 21 counties by the end of the month under a "safe schools" initiative. The Assembly last month passed another provision of the plan that would mandate a one year suspension for students who bring firearms to school or are convicted of a firearms offense. About half of the alternative programs have been established at community colleges; others will operate out of vocational technical centers, separate schools, or, at a minimum, school wings that segregate the potentially dangerous students from others.
