Illinois SB0098 updates the School Code to modify student suspension and expulsion policies. It mandates that school officials limit the use of expulsions and suspensions, recommending non-exclusionary discipline when possible. The bill requires schools to provide support services to students suspended for more than three days. It also allows students expelled from other schools to complete their suspension or expulsion in an alternative program if it doesn't threaten safety. The bill prohibits monetary fines as disciplinary actions but allows for restitution for damaged property.
