This bill allows Tennessee schools to deny students participation in physical activities during the school day if they engage in disruptive, violent, or threatening behavior that disrupts others. Teachers or administrators may remove students from physical activities or assign alternative lessons, assignments, or physical activities to improve conduct. It specifically clarifies that physical activity does not include time using electronic devices or regular physical education class time. The bill amends Tennessee law (TCA 49-6-1021) to define these disciplinary procedures for school staff.
