Summary: California Education Code 48926 states “each county superintendent of schools in counties that operate community schools pursuant to Section 1980, in conjunction with superintendents of school districts within the county shall develop a plan for providing education services to all expelled pupils in that county.” This section of California Education Code also states that “The plan shall enumerate existing educational alternatives for expelled pupils, identify gaps in educational services to expelled pupils, and strategies for filling those gaps. The Santa Clara County Office of Education requires each district to update their Expulsion Plan every three years and submits a compiled county plan to the California Department of Education.

Educational programs within Santa Clara County provide numerous opportunities for students who are in need of traditional and/or alternative education programs. While individual school districts offer a broad spectrum of service and the County Office of Education offers additional options, this combination provides a continuum of alternatives to expelled students.

A student whose behavior has resulted in expulsion is given a rehabilitation plan that is designed by the district of residence. This plan may involve one or more of the options outlined in the Expulsion Plan and Board Policy 5144.1. A student who is simply in need of an educational alternative may also access these programs through a District and/or County referral process.
Funding: There is no fiscal impact.
