48916
. (a) An expulsion order shall remain in effect until the
governing board, in the manner prescribed in this article, orders the
readmission of a pupil. At the time an expulsion of a pupil is
ordered for an act other than those described in subdivision (c) of
Section 48915, the governing board shall set a date, not later than
the last day of the semester following the semester in which the
expulsion occurred, when the pupil shall be reviewed for readmission
to a school maintained by the district or to the school the pupil
last attended. If an expulsion is ordered during summer session or
the intersession period of a year-round program the governing board
shall set a date, not later than the last day of the semester
following the summer session or intersession period in which the
expulsion occurred, when the pupil shall be reviewed for readmission
to a school maintained by the district or to the school the pupil
last attended. For a pupil who has been expelled pursuant to
subdivision (c) of Section 48915, the governing board shall set a
date of one year from the date the expulsion occurred, when the pupil
shall be reviewed for readmission to a school maintained by the
district, except that the governing board may set an earlier date for
readmission on a case-by-case basis.
(b) The governing board shall recommend a plan of rehabilitation for the pupil at the time of the expulsion order, which may include, but not be limited to, periodic review as well as assessment at the time of review for readmission. The plan may also include recommendations for improved academic performance, tutoring, special education assessments, job training, counseling, employment, community service, or other rehabilitative programs.
(c) The governing board of each school district shall adopt rules and regulations establishing a procedure for the filing and processing of requests for readmission and the process for the required review of all expelled pupils for readmission. Upon completion of the readmission process, the governing board shall readmit the pupil, unless the governing board makes a finding that the pupil has not met the conditions of the rehabilitation plan or continues to pose a danger to campus safety or to other pupils or employees of the school district. A description of the procedure shall be made available to the pupil and the pupil's parent or guardian at the time the expulsion order is entered.
(d) If the governing board denies the readmission of an expelled pupil pursuant to subdivision (c), the governing board shall make a determination either to continue the placement of the pupil in the alternative educational program initially selected for the pupil during the period of the expulsion order or to place the pupil in another program that may include, but need not be limited to, serving expelled pupils, including placement in a county community school.
(e) The governing board shall provide written notice to the expelled pupil and the pupil's parent or guardian describing the reasons for denying the pupil readmittance into the regular school district program. The written notice shall also include the determination of the educational program for the expelled pupil pursuant to subdivision (d). The expelled pupil shall enroll in that educational program unless the parent or guardian of the pupil elects to enroll the pupil in another school district.
(b) The governing board shall recommend a plan of rehabilitation for the pupil at the time of the expulsion order, which may include, but not be limited to, periodic review as well as assessment at the time of review for readmission. The plan may also include recommendations for improved academic performance, tutoring, special education assessments, job training, counseling, employment, community service, or other rehabilitative programs.
