The bill amends Wyoming's education law regarding the expulsion of students for possession of a deadly weapon. It allows a school district board of trustees to expel a student for more than one year if the student is found to have violated specific provisions related to weapon possession. The amendment specifies that while the board must require a one-year expulsion, they may extend this period if the district provides educational services in an alternative setting after the initial year.
The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025. This change aims to give school districts more flexibility in handling cases of weapon possession while ensuring that expelled students still have access to educational opportunities.
