An expulsion is defined as the act of discontinuing attendance of a pupil in the public schools as a result of action by the Board of Education. Students may be expelled for committing a violation of any section listed in California Education Codes 48900, 48900.2, 48900.3 or 48900.4. Due to the nature of the act, the presence of the pupil causes a continuing danger to the physical safety of the pupil or others. The district averages from 35 to 45 expulsions a year for the 29,000 students in the district. That represents approximately 1.4 students out of every thousand students in the district.
