rimental to his progress nor shall it apply to a child whose presence
in school constitutes a danger of serious physical harm to others.
In any such instance it shall be within the discretion of the super-
intendent of schools of the particular county or of Baltimore City,
acting with the advice of the school principal, supervisor, pupil
personnel supervisor, or visiting teacher, and with the written
recommendation of a licensed physician or certified psychologist, to
permit the withdrawal of any pupil [who] to whom in the judgment
of such person or persons [can no longer profit from further con-
tinuance in school.] the above provisions apply. Withdrawal as it
pertains to mentally, emotionally or physically handicapped pupils
shall not be construed as to exclude permanently the return of any
pupil whose condition improves to the degree that [he can benefit
from further schooling.] the child's attendance in a public school
is no longer detrimental to his progress. Neither shall any provision
of this section be construed as to exclude permanently any pupil
whose presence in school no longer constitutes a danger of serious
physical harm to others. When a child is withdrawn from the public
school as provided in this section the public schools BOARD OF EDU-
CATION of the particular county or of Baltimore City shall make
some other appropriate provision for the child's education. If no
appropriate educational placement is immediately available the pub-
lic school BOARD OF EDUCATION of the particular county or Balti-
more City shall make some interim provisions for the child's educa-
tion until such time as appropriate placement becomes available.
Every person having under his control a child between six and six-
teen years of age shall cause such child to attend school or receive
instruction as required by this section. Nothing in the provision of
this section shall be construed to require the school attendance of any
child who shall have been legally withdrawn from school before
July 1, 1969.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
July 1, 1971.
