A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO ENABLE LOCAL BOARDS OF EDUCATION TO EXPEL FROM SCHOOL THOSE STUDENTS WHOSE CONTINUED PRESENCE IN SCHOOL CONSTITUTES A CLEAR THREAT TO THE SAFETY AND HEALTH OF OTHER STUDENTS OR EMPLOYEES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 115C-391(d) reads as rewritten:
"(d)	A local board of education may, upon recommendation of the principal and superintendent, expel any student 14 years of age or older (i) who has been convicted of a felony, (ii) who has been adjudicated delinquent for committing an offense that would be a felony if committed by an adult, or (iii) whose continued presence in school constitutes a clear threat to the safety and health of other students or employees. Notwithstanding the provisions of G.S. 115C-112, a local board of education has no duty to continue to provide a child with special needs, expelled pursuant to this subsection, with any special education or related services during the period of expulsion."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective December 1, 1993, and applies to acts committed after that date.
