Pupil discipline: expulsions: procedures.
- Requires schools to create individualized rehabilitation plans for expelled students with no cost to families.
- Prohibits denying student readmission due to financial barriers or lack of access to rehabilitation resources.
- Mandates schools to track and report detailed expulsion data including extension rates and outcomes.
- Requires counties to develop comprehensive education plans for expelled students including special education services.
Assembly Member Bonta's legislation revises California's student expulsion procedures by establishing new requirements for rehabilitation plans and readmission processes. The bill mandates that rehabilitation plans be developed by a team of educators with expertise regarding the student, address the specific behavior that led to expulsion, and include components such as academic support, counseling, or community service opportunities.
School districts must assist expelled students in accessing rehabilitation plan requirements while being prohibited from charging families for associated costs. The legislation modifies readmission criteria to prevent denials based on financial or transportation barriers. Districts may only deny readmission if a student has not substantially met rehabilitation requirements despite having access to necessary resources. In such cases, the expulsion term may be extended through the following semester.
The bill expands requirements for county-level planning of educational services for expelled students. County superintendents and school districts must collaborate to identify multiple educational program options, outline readmission procedures, and detail transition support services. Districts must now track additional expulsion-related data, including the percentage of extended expulsion terms and average expulsion lengths. This data informs mandatory triennial updates to county service plans.
