utilize community service as an alternative to student suspension. Community

and educational organizations including, but not limited to, hospitals, fire
and police stations, nursing homes, food banks, day care organizations, and
state and local government offices.

distribute information to school districts regarding existing programs, the
potential benefits and considerations of using community service as an
