Massachusetts H718 aims to reduce out-of-school suspensions by limiting them to 10 days per year and encouraging in-school suspensions.

Massachusetts H718 seeks to reduce out-of-school suspensions by limiting them to no more than 10 school days cumulatively for multiple infractions during the school year. The bill encourages schools to offer in-school suspensions as an alternative, allowing students to earn credits and make up missed assignments. The Department of Education will provide funding or staff to schools that demonstrate insufficient resources for maintaining an in-school suspension program.
