§ 1163. Transfer of suspension or expulsion to other schools
(a) If a student transfers from one Vermont public or independent school to another, then
upon application by the student and after a review of whether the school can provide
the student with appropriate services, the new school may choose to continue a suspension
or expulsion imposed by the original school.
(b) During a period of suspension or expulsion imposed under section 1162 of this title, a student, or parent or guardian, shall not be subject to the provisions of subchapter
3 of this chapter regarding compulsory attendance at school, unless the conditions
of the suspension or expulsion include participation in a program in the school or
an alternative program outside the school. Further, nothing in this section shall
prohibit a suspended or expelled student from applying to a different Vermont public
or independent school during the period of suspension or expulsion and attending if
accepted.
(c) A school district that provides for the education of a suspended or expelled student
by paying tuition to a public or approved independent school may, at the discretion
of the school board, provide for the education of the student during the period of
suspension or expulsion by paying tuition to another public or approved independent
school. (Added 1999, No. 113 (Adj. Sess.), § 8; amended 2013, No. 92 (Adj. Sess.), § 124, eff. Feb. 14, 2014.)
