A bill in the Illinois house would keep public schools from expelling and suspending very young students.
House Bill 3772 ensures early childhood programs receiving state funds restrict suspensions. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports preschoolers are suspended and expelled three times more than the average elementary school kid, mostly affecting children with disabilities and minorities.
Rep. William Davis filed a bill that would eliminate expulsion for pre-k to second graders. If any preschoolers face suspension for three or more days, the principal must bring in the district superintendent before making any final decision. If any student is suspended for more than 20 days, the school can send them to an alternative school to continue learning.
