File:  JKF*-R - Educational Alternatives for Expelled Students

NOTE: While Colorado school districts are not required by law to adopt a regulation on this subject, some content in this sample reflects legal requirements school districts must follow. This sample contains the content/language that CASB believes best meets the intent of the law. However, the district should consult with its own legal counsel to determine appropriate language that meets local circumstances and needs.

Parents/guardians shall be notified in writing at the time of any expulsion of their right to request services from the district if their child is expelled.

All requests for services for expelled students must be made in writing to the principal [or to the principal's designee] by the student or the student's parent/guardian.

Within 10 school days of receiving the request, the principal will notify the student and the parent/guardian of the goal in providing educational services, the services to be provided by the district and the amount of credit the student will receive.

If an expelled student is not receiving educational services through the school district under the accompanying policy, the parents/guardians shall be contacted at least once every 60 days until the student is eligible to re-enroll to determine the educational services the student is receiving, unless the student is enrolled in another school district or independent or parochial school, or if the student is committed to the department of human services or sentenced through the juvenile justice system.
