HOUSE BILL No. 4420

 

February 24, 2009, Introduced by Reps. Miller, Espinoza, Liss and Durhal and referred to the Committee on Education.

 

     A bill to amend 1976 PA 451, entitled

 

"The revised school code,"

 

(MCL 380.1 to 380.1852) by adding section 1147a.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 1147a. (1) If the parent or legal guardian of 2 or more

 

children who are multiple birth siblings and who will be enrolled

 

in a public school in the same grade submits a written request to

 

school officials to place the children in the same classroom or in

 

separate classrooms, the public school shall comply with that

 

request to the extent practicable. This section does not apply to a

 

public school that only has 1 classroom for the affected grade and

 

does not require a public school to alter the number of classrooms

 

for the affected grade.

 

     (2) As used in this section, "multiple birth siblings" means

 

twins, triplets, or higher multiples.
