Protecting our Students in Schools Act of 2025

This bill prohibits corporal punishment in schools receiving federal funding, defining it as any physical force causing pain for discipline. It requires schools to notify parents within 24 hours of any corporal punishment incident and mandates states to submit school climate reports detailing efforts to reduce exclusionary discipline practices like suspensions and expulsions. The bill establishes a grant program to help schools implement positive behavioral interventions, such as restorative justice and trauma-informed care, while requiring staff training on these approaches. The bill applies to public schools and other schools receiving federal funds but does not affect private schools or home schools that don't receive federal funding.
