AB 415

Under current law, law enforcement and juvenile court records obtained by and

relating to the conduct of a pupil of a school district may not be used as the sole basis

for expelling or suspending the pupil or as the sole basis for taking any other

disciplinary action against the pupil, including action under the school district's

athletic code. 2011 Senate Bill 95 (SB-95), which has passed in both the senate and

assembly but, as of November 29, 2011, had not been signed by the governor, permits

a school district to use law enforcement records as the sole basis for taking action

against a pupil under the district's athletic code, but did not make that change to all

provisions of current law governing the use of a pupil's law enforcement or juvenile

court records. This bill extends the change made under SB-95 to the other provisions

in current law governing the use by a school district of a pupil's law enforcement and

juvenile court records for disciplinary purposes.
