OK HB2369

Students in grades 6-12 who assault or attempt to cause bodily injury to school employees or volunteers must be suspended until a district court judge approves readmission, replacing the previous out-of-school suspension process

District court must hold a readmission hearing within 10 days of application, with the affected employee or volunteer notified via certified mail at least 5 days in advance and granted paid leave to attend

Students cannot be readmitted to the same school where the assault occurred unless the affected employee or volunteer consents; the court must issue a restraining order barring the student from that school's grounds

Special education students who pose ongoing safety threats may be placed at home with online education resources provided by the district, though parents are responsible for internet and computer equipment

Education employees are protected from disciplinary action for using reasonable force to control students or for reporting assaults, threatened assaults, or other safety concerns directly to law enforcement
