Summary

The bill tightens disciplinary policy in South Carolina schools by requiring at least a one‑year expulsion for students who knowingly bring a firearm to school and by creating a new expulsion category for serious threats of violence. It also clarifies that expelled or suspended students may not enter school property, but can receive instruction through alternative or virtual programs, and it allows district boards to transfer students instead of suspending or expelling them after a hearing with parents.
