Pre-K to 3rd Emergency Removal Remainder of School Day
As a key component of HB 318 is the reduction in out-of-school suspensions and expulsions, for
students in grades PK-3, there are several provisions related specifically to these grade levels. Of
immediate note, however, are the following changes.
1. The emergency removal of a student in grades PK-3 is now PERMITTED for the remainder
of the school day WITHOUT a hearing provided the student be allowed to return the next
school day. These removals will need to be recorded in Infinite Campus in both the
attendance and behavior modules. There is no behavior letter for these removals.
2. There are also limitations on pursuing an OSS or expulsion for students in grades PK-3 for
which an emergency removal is made. Under the Act, no action may be taken towards a suspension or expulsion for the same incident for which the student was removed unless:
a. it is a serious and specific offense (ONLY guns, knives, serious bodily injury/harm,
or bomb threat) for which suspension or expulsion is statutorily required or permitted; or
b. it is an offense for which the district or school determined suspension or expulsion
was necessary “to protect the immediate health and safety of the student, the student’s fellow classmates, or the classroom staff or teachers.” This term will be defined via an upcoming Administrative Guideline.
For example, if an administrator utilizes an "emergency removal" for a PK-3 student for insubordination, that same student could not be given an OSS for that offense as it would not be compliant with Ohio law; however, the student may be given an immediate suspension for that offense.
Again, the distinction between "emergency removal" and "immediate suspension" is critical, as for a student in these grade levels, certain behavioral resolutions may be unavailable to administrators depending upon the offense and whether or not the student is subject to an "emergency removal."
