Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill provides that if a public school pupil is denied credit in a course or
subject and wishes or is required to retake the course or subject, the school board may
charge the pupil, or the pupil's parent or guardian if the pupil is a minor, for the cost
of providing the course or subject to the pupil.
In addition, the bill provides that if a school board provides homebound study
for a pupil who has been suspended or expelled, the school board may charge the
pupil, or the pupil's parent or guardian if the pupil is a minor, for the cost of providing
the homebound study.
