Provides that beginning July 1,2026, the decision to suspend a student in kindergarten through grade 2 for 4 (rather than 3) or more days be made by anyone other than the superintendent of the district. Removes language that provides that: a student who is suspended in excess of 20 school days may be immediately transferred to an alternative program in, subject to the restrictions for transfer; and a student shall not be denied transfer because of the suspension, except in cases in which such transfer is deemed to cause a threat to the safety of students or staff in the alternative program.
