HB 740
Passed the House on February 14 and is now in the Senate Education & Youth Committee.
The amended bill requires local school systems to conduct certain
multi-tiered system of supports and review prior to expelling or assigning a student in
preschool through third grade to out-of-school suspension.
(The original bill would have required [among other things] a speech-language assessment before a student could be expelled.)
HR 898, creating a
Joint Study Committee on the Establishment of a State Accreditation Process also passed the House.
