SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The State Board of Education (SBE) proposes to amend R.43279, Minimum Standards of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Enforcement Procedures to be Implemented by Local School Districts, to change the title of Section V., add a reference to Regulation 43243, and delete subsections A–E. This proposal is being made because disciplinary procedures for students with disabilities are addressed in Regulation 43243(v)(B). The SBE also proposes to remove Appendix A as it merely summarizes the regulation and to remove Appendix B as it is simply a listing of state laws.

The Notice of Drafting was published in the State Register on July 26, 2013.
