 This bill came forward because the districts are seeking out more further guidance to deal with the issues that they're having. The bill removes the current provision within the law that allows districts to immediately transfer a student to an alternative school if that student has been suspended for more than 20 days. State Representative Dan Ugasti said he's concerned the guidelines will eventually be used to usurp local control. I don't know why we exactly need to put this in statute in order to do this.
