01:34 PM -- HB17-1210
Senator Priola and Senator Fields, co-prime sponsors, presented House Bill 17-1210 to the committee. This bill prohibits a school district, board of cooperative services, or charter school from expelling a student in preschool, kindergarten, first grade, or second grade or imposing an out-of-school suspension, except as required by federal law, unless:
• the student commits an action on school grounds that endangers others;
• failure to remove the student from the school building would create a serious safety threat that cannot be reduced or eliminated by using reasonable modifications to manage the student's behavior; or
