A pending House bill, HB 3223, would allow a student who is the victim of a gender-based violence to immediately transfer schools if the student’s continued attendance at the original school would pose a risk to the student’s mental or physical well-being/safety. The bill also allows for a student’s status as a parent, expecting parent or victim of gender-based violence to be disclosed as a mitigating circumstance in any disciplinary (suspension or expulsion) proceeding.
