SB2918

Illinois SB2918 revises student discipline policies, emphasizing alternative interventions and support services.

Illinois SB2918 amends the School Code to revise student discipline policies, focusing on alternative interventions and support services. The bill mandates that removals to alternative schools are only permissible if other behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the student's presence poses a threat to safety or disrupts school operations. It prohibits out-of-school suspensions longer than three days unless they are necessary for safety or learning disruptions.
