HB772

Pennsylvania HB772 amends the Public School Code to limit suspensions and expulsions for young pupils.

Pennsylvania HB772 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to modify the rules for suspending and expelling pupils. It prohibits excluding pupils from in-person instruction for more than ten days without a hearing. Additionally, it restricts suspending or expelling pupils younger than eight years old unless they pose an imminent threat of harm. The bill maintains the authority to expel pupils in accordance with other sections of the code.
