flag Kentucky proposes harsher penalties for students attacking school staff, including automatic expulsion and lowering prosecution age to 14.

flag Kentucky Senator Matt Nunn introduced Senate Bill 101 in January 2026 to address rising violence against school staff, proposing mandatory reporting of assaults, automatic expulsion with a minimum 12-month suspension for offenders, and lowering the age for adult prosecution in third-degree assault cases from 16 to 14. flag The bill responds to a 2025 report showing 25,000 assaults on educators since 2021 and growing concerns over teacher safety and retention. flag While education leaders support increased accountability, some worry the expulsion rule could harm student attendance. flag The measure builds on prior laws expanding protections for healthcare workers.
