AZ HB2748

Prohibits charter schools from suspending students solely for unexcused absences.

Prohibits school districts from using suspension as a penalty for excessive absenteeism, though other penalties like failing grades or expulsion remain permitted.

Requires school districts to annually report to the Department of Education the number of suspensions and expulsions involving illegal substance possession, use, or sale, with statewide and county-level aggregation.

Clarifies that all suspensions must be for good cause and may not be based solely on a student's absenteeism.

Replaces "pupil" terminology with "student" throughout Arizona's student discipline statutes for consistency.
