Introduced Text

Arizona HB2947 amends student discipline policies, limiting suspensions for absenteeism and detailing procedures for suspensions and expulsions.

Arizona HB2947 modifies student discipline policies by restricting charter schools from suspending students for two or fewer days due to unexcused absences, provided the total suspensions do not exceed ten days in a school year. It also mandates that any penalty for absenteeism must not be solely based on the student's absences. The bill outlines procedures for suspensions and expulsions, including notice requirements, the right to a hearing, and the need for good cause.
