Rhode Island S2215 amends school regulations to authorize out-of-school suspensions for students in grades six and above if they threaten the safety of others or violate school rules on alcohol, drugs, or weapons. For younger students, suspensions are allowed only if their behavior poses a safety threat that cannot be mitigated through interventions. The bill also mandates annual reporting on school discipline data, including the use of force, student arrests, and referrals to law enforcement or courts.
