Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill changes Kentucky's school discipline rules to allow students to be placed in alternative educational programs or settings for an indefinite period of time, rather than under current time limits. It requires schools to review a student's placement at least once a year if it lasts longer than one year, and gives families the right to appeal placement decisions to the local school board. Who it may affect: K-12 students placed in alternative school settings and their parents or guardians.
