Bill Would Keep Schools from Expelling Students who are Drunk, High or in Possession

A California Assembly bill would prohibit school officials from suspending or expelling students who are drunk, high or in possession of illicit drugs in order to prevent them from engaging in further drug use.

Assembly Bill 599, introduced in February by Democratic Assemblymember Chris Ward, passed the Education Committee late last month and will be considered by the Appropriations Committee. The bill was amended by the Assembly last Tuesday, which led to changes to some of the bill’s language.  (Excerpt from The Christian Post.)
