Senator McAuliffe explained the proposals in Substitute Senate Bill No. 5440.
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the motion by Senator McAuliffe that Substitute Senate Bill No. 5440 be substituted for Senate Bill No. 5440.
The motion by Senator McAuliffe carried and Substitute Senate Bill No. 5440 was substituted for Senate Bill No. 5440 and the substitute bill was advanced to second reading and read the second time.
MOTION
On motion of Senator McAuliffe, the rules were suspended, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5440 was advanced to third reading, the second reading considered the third and the bill was placed on final passage.
POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Roach: "Senator McAuliffe, this is for elementary schools, does this mean then if a second grader or a first grader or a kindergartner should bring a weapon to school that they would be expelled?"
Senator McAuliffe: "This has a zero gun tolerance, but with the exception for extenuating circumstances the superintendent can take into consideration what actually has happened here. There is the opportunity for students who are displaying guns for a class or a project or for military purposes, they do have the opportunity, still, to display or show a gun, but this does say that if a student accidently brings a gun to school and they don't understand what this is about, yes, they should fall under this law unless there is extenuating circumstances."
Senator Roach: "And we have existing law that already would require expulsion for what grade levels?"
Senator McAuliffe: "We have existing law that was put into effect and it is for all grade levels--K through 12."
Senator Roach: "Existing law?"
Senator McAuliffe: "Yes, it is. Let me look. Yes, it is."
Senator Roach: "Then, why do we need this bill if we have existing law that requires this?"
Senator McAuliffe: "The reason that we need this bill is that we are not consistent across the state for the time that we expel students. This law states that we will expel them for one year."
Senator Roach: "Is it not true that local school boards, right now, can determine the period of time?"
Senator McAuliffe: "They can, but because the time of expulsion is not consistent and that we are having a lot of variations, it is not as clear to the students that we believe in a state-wide policy of zero tolerance of guns on school grounds and that we find that expelling for a very clear definition of time makes a difference."
Senator Roach: "Okay, so we are then usurping the power and authority vested in local school board members?"
Senator McAuliffe: "I think you have to consider at certain times, Senator Roach, that the state has a responsibility to set state-wide policy and that local districts also have a responsibility for their local control. This bill gives them both."
POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Ann Anderson: "Senator McAuliffe, following up on Senator Roach's conversation about local school boards, was there any testimony from the districts about this concept of local control and local decision making versus this one more thing that we are doing from a state level to tell school boards what they must do?"
Senator McAuliffe: "Was there testimony from school boards? Is that what you asked me?"
Senator Ann Anderson: "The question was, was there any testimony and discussion in committee about local control on this issue versus state-wide control?"
Senator McAuliffe: "Yes, there have been many discussions regarding all the bills in education, about local control versus state-wide control or state-wide requirements and rules. However, we also must consider that this is a federal law that we are also copying and putting into state law. It talks about federal dollars and in order for us to have the opportunity to have approximately two hundred million dollars in the next two years from the federal government, we need to have this law in statute."
Further debate ensued.
