classroom management; students; temporary removal

Arizona's HB 2663 requires school principals or designated administrators to provide teachers with written certification before allowing a temporarily removed student to return to class. This certification must state the authorization for readmission and describe any disciplinary action taken for the behavior that led to the removal. The bill applies to all public school classrooms where regular instruction occurs and clarifies that "rules governing student conduct" include district policies, school procedures, and teacher-developed classroom management plans. The law aims to ensure transparency in classroom management decisions and is currently awaiting the governor's action after passing both legislative chambers.
