Expulsions in most states are VERY rare. If you want to use nebraska, in one year, roughly 10,000 students are suspended, only 650 expelled. In Missouri, there were nearly 50,000 suspensions, and less than 300 expulsions.

Expulsions require hearings--so they often cannot even be done unless preceded by a suspension pending said hearing.

They are very difficult and potentially costly for school districts.

I would hope so. But killing a classmate is probably worse than those other 650 expulsions and qualifies as a good reason.

Laws change all the time, Husker. Most school rules have been updated recently due to violence in schools.
You are wrong. Read the current statute 79-266.01. It doesn't say what you seem to think it does. I'm looking at it right now.
I'm looking at it. It says exactly what I think it says.
79-266.01.
Expelled student; enrollment in public school; when.
If a student has been expelled from a public school in any school district in any state or from a private, denominational, or parochial school in any state and the student has not completed the terms of the expulsion, the student shall not be permitted to enroll in a public school in any school district until the school board of the district in which enrollment is sought approves, by a majority vote, the enrollment of the student. As a condition of enrollment, the school board may require attendance in an alternative school, class, or educational program pursuant to section 79-266 until the terms of the expulsion are completed. A student expelled from a private, denominational, or parochial school or from a school in another state may not be prohibited from enrolling in a public school district in which the student resides or in which the student has been accepted pursuant to the enrollment option program for any period of time beyond the time limits placed on expulsion pursuant to the Student Discipline Act or for any expulsion for an offense for which expulsion is not authorized for a public school student under the act.
It does not prohibit them from enrolling in another school. They just need board approval. At which time, due to Nebraska open enrollment laws, the original district loses state funds and the new one gains them.
They JUST need board approval.
A minor formality in nearly all cases.

Most cases didn't result in DEATH.

Really? evileye

Kids are expelled for less all the time. Killing a classmate deserves expulsion.

Why? Because you say so? Show me the law, or even the policy of this district that makes that true.

Look at the laws. They all have VIOLENCE as one of the biggest reasons for expulsion.

I mean, seriously - this is the stupidest damn argument ever. Three girls against one and they killed her. If anything deserves expulsion, that does. To say otherwise is flat out ridiculous.

Again, just because you say so? I asked you to show me the laws, or district policies--and you did not.

The laws are clear, expulsion is warranted for violence. If you don't believe me, do your own damn googling.

Warranted does not mean mandated.

Again, you say "the law"--but don't cite any, and the one you did, you were incorrect on, anyway.

It doesn't work that way. They are entitled to a public education. They can't be permanent banned from every school. That's not how it works.

I believe they are only "entitled" until they screw it up for themselves by disobeying the rules. The same way a citizen is entitled to their freedom until they break the law and lose that freedom as a repercussion for breaking the law.

I, however, could be wrong in that belief.

Every child is entitled to an education. And, if they are expelled, then that can mean some form of alternate schooling such as cyber or evening school, etc.

Exactly, and those are not cheap options, especially for smaller districts that don't have an alternative school of their own.

We have an alternative school here. As we all know I am in a city. I know a teacher that is there. He says it is just babysitting IF they show up. No learning occurs. More hood rats for our city! Yay!
