What this document actually says
Last Updated: October 18, 2022
This policy governs when Reed Union can enroll students expelled from other school districts. Key Rules:
- Students expelled for the most serious offenses (weapons, drugs, sexual assault, etc. under Ed Code 48915(a) or (c)) cannot enroll during their expulsion period unless in a community day school.
- Students expelled for less serious offenses may enroll during expulsion if the Board holds a hearing and determines they don't pose a continuing danger to students or staff.
- After an expulsion term ends, students expelled for serious offenses can request enrollment through a Board hearing.
- Students expelled for other reasons follow normal residency or transfer procedures after their expulsion ends.
- Parents must disclose previous expulsions; failure to do so is noted during hearings.
- All hearings follow the same procedures used for district expulsions.
What this means for your family
For families: If your child was expelled from another district, Reed Union may or may not accept them depending on the offense and timing. You must disclose the expulsion when enrolling. For serious offenses (weapons, drugs, assault), your child cannot enroll until the expulsion ends, then only after a Board hearing. For other offenses, a hearing determines if enrollment is allowed during the expulsion period. The Board prioritizes campus safety in all decisions.
