Revise education laws related to a teacher's authority to maintain a positive classroom environment
This bill grants teachers the authority to temporarily remove students from the classroom when behavior disrupts the learning environment for others. It requires school districts to create policies or update employee agreements that outline how teachers can use this authority, while ensuring these rules do not conflict with individualized education plans for students with disabilities. When a student is excluded, the teacher must direct them to school administration, and the student cannot return until a principal or designee communicates a return plan that may include behavioral agreements or meetings with parents and staff. Students who fail to meet the return plan requirements or repeatedly disrupt the classroom face further disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion.
