One of the school-related measures still alive in the Legislature relates to alternative schools.
The Georgia Senate approved legislation Monday that limits a student’s stay in alternative school after a non-serious infraction.
Senate Bill 328, by Sen. Emanuel Jones, D-Decatur, says a student assigned to alternative school shall remain there no longer than two semesters. A serious offense is considered one that involves violence, bullying or drugs.
The vote was 43-5. The bill now moves to the Georgia House of Representatives.
