BILL NUMBER:S6282 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to authorizing the option of assigning community service as an alternative to suspension of students or in conjunction thereof PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Allows for the imposition of community service in place of or in conjunction with suspension SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1: Amends the education law by adding a new section 3214-a Section 2 - effective date JUSTIFICATION: Under the current law, school principals may impose a variety of penalties to students who violate the Code of Conduct, including detentions, in-school suspensions from school, and out-of- school suspensions from school for a period of up to five (5) days. Principals have wide discretion in making these determinations. However, when a student commits a significant violation of the Code of Conduct that leads to hearing before the Superintendent of Schools, the only penalty that a Superintendent may impose, if the student is in fact proven guilty of the violation, is a further suspension of school. That suspension can be for additional days, weeks or months, depending on the severity of the violation.
