This bill amends the existing law regarding the expulsion of students from public schools in Wyoming for possession of a deadly weapon. Specifically, it allows a school district board of trustees to expel a student for longer than one year if certain conditions are met. The board may require the district superintendent to expel a student for more than one year if the district provides educational services to the expelled student in an alternative setting after the initial one-year expulsion period.

The bill modifies W.S. 21-4-306(c) by inserting new language that grants the board of trustees the authority to extend the expulsion period under specified circumstances. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
