 9   expel from school for a period of not less than one
10   year a student who is determined to have brought a

13   chief administering officer of a school or school
14   district may modify expulsion requirements on a case-
15   by-case basis.  This section shall not be construed to
16   prevent the board of directors of a school district or
17   the authorities in charge of a nonpublic school that
18   have expelled a student from the student's regular
19   school setting from providing educational services to
20   the student in an alternative setting.  If both this
21   section and section 282.4 apply, this section takes
