This bill amends the existing law regarding the financial obligations of school districts for the education of students who have been expelled due to committing an assault against a school staff member. The new legal language specifies that a school district's financial responsibility for continuing the education of such expelled pupils will be limited to the average cost-per-pupil for that district. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the responsibility of the parent to educate the pupil remains unchanged.

The bill introduces a new paragraph (II-a) to RSA 193:13, which outlines these limitations on financial obligations. It emphasizes that while the school district's costs are capped, parents still hold the primary responsibility for their child's education. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
