Bill	School Discipline For Preschool Through Second Grade	The bill allows a state-funded, community-based preschool program, school district, or charter school (enrolling entity) to impose an out-of-school suspension or expel a student enrolled in preschool, kindergarten, or first or second grade only under specified circumstances. If the enrolling entity imposes an out-of-school suspension, the length of the suspension is limited to 3 school days unless the executive officer or chief administrative officer of the enrolling entity determines that a longer period is necessary to resolve the safety threat or recommends that the student be expelled. The state board of education (state board) cannot waive the provisions concerning suspension and expulsion of young students for school districts or charter schools. Each school district and charter school must ensure that its school discipline code reflects the requirements specified in the bill. The state board must annually review the data concerning suspensions and expulsions of students in preschool, kindergarten, and first and second grade.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2019A	HB 19-1194	Colorado HB 19-1194 (2019A)	bill		enacted	Colin Larson Kevin Priola Rhonda Fields Susan Lontine	9	12	2	2019-02-20T07:00:00+00:00	2019-05-13T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/fff3c7e3-eb10-47c8-824e-79fbe3f21cdb	http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb19-1194	650d297bdbaf015352ce6d5f07eddd332a393f00ad2e48ae0fa9335c290cca7c	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
