LB 1053 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Eliminate the prohibition regarding suspending a student that is in prekindergarten through second grade

LB 1053 removes a legal prohibition that previously prevented schools from suspending students in prekindergarten through second grade. The bill amends Nebraska statutes (sections 79-263, 79-265, and 79-267) to eliminate this restriction, allowing schools to suspend young students for disciplinary reasons under existing student conduct rules. It specifically repeals section 79-265.01, which had created the ban on suspending early-grade students. This change directly affects pre-K through second-grade students and school disciplinary policies. The bill does not alter the types of conduct that may lead to suspension, only removes the age-based restriction on applying those policies.
