0012| REQUESTING THAT THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION MAKE
|
0013| RECOMMENDATIONS ON STATEWIDE EXPULSION AND RE-ADMISSION POLICIES

|
0015|
|
0016| WHEREAS, a small percentage of students is expelled after
|
0017| episodes justifying serious measures on the part of public
|
0018| schools; and
|
0019| WHEREAS, many more students are dropped for non-attendance;
|
0020| and
|
0021| WHEREAS, the interim legislative health and human services
|
0022| committee recognizes that the rise in juvenile crime and
|
0023| delinquency is a major problem facing New Mexico; and
|
0024| WHEREAS, the interim legislative health and human services
|
0025| committee continues to pursue and support prevention and early
|
0001| intervention measures; and
|
0002| WHEREAS, each school district sets its own expulsion and
|
0003| re-admission policies; and

|
0005| school districts' edicts prohibiting re-admission for up to
|
0006| three years; and
|
0007| WHEREAS, such policies effectively close public schools to
|
0008| some students, putting them at high risk of gang and criminal
|
0009| activity; and
|
0010| WHEREAS, school boards need to consider the effect their
|
0011| policies have on the behavior of students not permitted to
|
0012| attend classes; and
|
0013| WHEREAS, keeping youths in an educational environment
|
0014| offers them important structure and role modeling necessary for
|
0015| becoming responsible adults;
|
0016| NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
|
0017| STATE OF NEW MEXICO that the state board of education review and

|

|
0021| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this memorial be

|
