Bill would expel students for at least a year if they commit a sexual assault – Center Square

Following reports of a sexual assault involving school kids in a small central Illinois community, State Sen. Steve McClure was shocked to find out that the student who committed the sexual assault was allowed to stay in class. “If a student brings a pair of brass knuckles to class, they are automatically expelled for a year,” said McClure. “But if you sexually assault a student at school, there is no automatic expulsion for a year.”
