√ CHECK. WE DID THIS! HB4775 makes it easier for schools to suspend and expel students. HB4775 authorizes schools to suspend or expel a student convicted of a violent felony. HB4775 also allows a superintendent to immediately transfer a student who has only been charged with a violent felony to another attendance center or alternative school.
There are many reasons why a juvenile could face a violent felony charge or conviction, but none of them justify preventing that child from getting an education. We need children to be in the classroom in order to have hope for the future. HB4775 is a step in the wrong direction.
