Introduction
 
Education Code 48926 requires a countywide plan, which shall include the following provisions:

  • Enumerate existing education alternatives for expelled youth
  • Identify gaps in educational services to expelled pupils
  • Identify strategies for filling those gaps in services
  • Identify alternative placements for pupils who are expelled from districts within the county
    Educational programs within the County of Sutter provide a variety of opportunities for students who are in need of traditional and/or alternative education programs. Individual schools districts offer a variety of program options within their respective schools. The Sutter County Superintendent of Schools offers educational services which include an independent study program, community school, and opportunity classes.
Education Code 48926: Plan for Expelled Youth
 
Each county superintendent of schools in counties that operate community schools pursuant to Section 1980, in conjunction with superintendents of the school districts within the county, shall develop a plan for providing education services to all expelled pupils in that county. The plan shall be adopted by the governing board of each school district within the county and by the county board of education.
The plan shall enumerate existing educational alternatives for expelled pupils, identify gaps in educational services to expelled pupils, and strategies for filling those service gaps. The plans shall also identify alternative placements for pupils who are expelled and placed in district community day schools or alternative education programs, but who fail to meet the terms and conditions of their rehabilitation plan or who pose a danger to other district pupils, as determined by the governing board.
Each county’s Superintendent of Schools, in conjunction with the superintendents of the school districts, shall submit to the Superintendent of Public Instruction the county plan for providing educational services to all expelled pupils in the county no later than June 30, 1997 and shall submit a triennial update to the plan to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, including the outcome data pursuant to Section 48916.1, on June 30 thereafter.
Education Code 48916.1: Educational Programs/Rehabilitation Plans
  • At the time an expulsion of a pupil is ordered, the governing board of the school district shall ensure that an educational program is provided to the pupil who is subject to the expulsion order for the period of the expulsion. Except for pupils expelled pursuant to (d) of Section 48915, the governing board of a school district is required to implement the provisions of this section only to the extent funds are appropriated for this purpose in the annual Budget Act or other legislation, or both.
  • Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any educational program provided pursuant to subdivision (a) may be operated by the school district, the county superintendent of schools, or a consortium of districts or in joint agreement with the county superintendent of schools.
    Any educational program provided pursuant to subdivision (b) may not be situated within or on the grounds of the school from which the pupil was expelled.
  • If the pupil who is subject to the expulsion order was expelled from any kindergarten or grades 1 to 6, inclusive, the education program provided pursuant to subdivision (b) may not be combined or merged with educational programs offered to pupils in any of the grades 7 to 12, inclusive. The district or county program is the only program required to be provided to expelled pupils as determined by the governing board of the school district.
  • (1)Each school district shall maintain data as specified in this subdivision and report the data annually to the State Department of Education, commencing June 1, 1997, on the  forms provided by the State Department of Education. The school district shall maintain the following data:
    The number of pupils recommended for expulsion.
    The grounds for each recommended expulsion.
    Whether the pupil was subsequently expelled.
    Whether the expulsion order was suspended.
    The type of referral made after the expulsion.
    The disposition of the pupil after the end of the period of the expulsion.
(2)  The Superintendent may require a school district to report this data as part of the coordinated compliance review. If a school district does not report outcome data as required by this subdivision, the Superintendent may not apportion any further money to the school district pursuant to Section 48664 until the school district is in compliance with this subdivision. Before withholding the apportionment of funds to a school district pursuant to this subdivision, the Superintendent shall give written notice to the governing board of the school district that the school district has failed to report the data required by paragraph (1) and that the school district has 30 calendar days from the date of the written notice of non-compliance to report the requested data and thereby avoid the withholding of the apportionment funds.

 
  • If the county superintendent of schools is unable for any reason to serve the expelled pupils of a school district within the county, the governing board of that school district may enter into an agreement with a County Superintendent of Schools in another county to provide education services for the district’s expelled pupils.
