MS HB184

Defines "violent act" as any action resulting in death or physical harm to another person or an attempt to cause such harm.

Requires superintendents to assign students to regular schools with the general student population in all other instances where youth court has ordered enrollment.

Maintains existing prohibitions on youth court orders to enroll students suspended or expelled for weapon possession, threats to safety, or violent acts.
