Student expulsion bill passed
A bill clarifying grounds and procedures for suspending or expelling high school students from public schools has been passed by the Kansas legislature. It is not yet known how Gov. Robert Docking will act on the bill.
The bill would authorize high school teachers to suspend or expel students who are found guilty of disruptive behavior or threatening the rights of other students.
School boards, administrators and teachers would be given authority to deal with disciplinary problems. The bill sets out grounds for suspension or expulsion and permits boards of education to adopt regulations extending the authority to enforce discipline to any certified teacher or administrator or committee of certified employees.
Before long-term suspensions or expulsions could be imposed, a hearing would be required. A short-term suspension would be allowed without a hearing, but it could not exceed five days, and parents must be notified.
Carl Knox, superintendent of Lawrence Unified School District #497, said that the bill contained essentially the same policies that are already in effect at Lawrence High School.

be developed at the local level without state intervention," he said. "Every school district needs guidelines on discipline, but local administrations should formulate their own policies for their own problems."
The policy statement of the local Board of Education says:
"The school is basically an institution for learning. Any activity which disrupts the learning atmosphere or destroys the learning opportunities of any individual is an infringement on the right of that individual to learn. The protection of this right is a major responsibility of school teachers, administrators and the Board of Education."
LHS procedures for serious problems, such as failure to follow the directions of a teacher and continued distraction of other students, refusing to obey teachers or threatening them, fighting, profanity, and smoking on school premises, allow the student to be suspended for varying amounts of time.
These guidelines are not designed to deny students the right to disagree or dissent, but only to insure that the exchange of ideas is peaceful, said Knox.
Under the bill passed by the legislature, students could be expelled for the following reasons: willful violation of board-approved, published regulations or student conduct; conduct substantially disrupting school operations; conduct substantially impinging upon the rights of others, and conduct resulting in conviction of a criminal offense or disobeying the order of a teacher, policeman, school official or security officer or other authority when disobedience can be anticipated to result in disorder.
