Schools; subjecting certain students in grades three through five to school suspensions; effective date; emergency.

HB 1672 mandates specific suspensions for students in grades 3-5 who assault school staff or volunteers. It requires a three-day in-school suspension for a first offense, seven-day out-of-school suspension for a second offense, and expulsion for a third offense in the same school year. The bill also establishes separate suspension rules for grades 6-12 (semester-long suspensions) and requires school districts to adopt policies including alternative placements and appeal processes for suspensions. These changes directly affect elementary students, school administrators, and school districts by altering disciplinary protocols for student violence against staff.
