Relating to: a teacher’s authority to manage the teacher’s class, parental notification of disruptive or violent behavior at school, and a school district’s code of conduct. (FE)

SB 611 clarifies teachers' authority to manage classrooms and respond to disruptions, requiring them to notify school principals within 24 hours of removing a student for disruptive behavior, violent incidents, or safety risks. It mandates that school principals place removed students in alternative settings unless a behavior intervention plan (BIP) exists for repeat offenders or safety incidents, and prohibits schools from retaliating against teachers who enforce classroom rules or report disruptions. The bill defines key terms like "disruptive behavior" and "violent incident" to standardize responses, while creating new protections for teachers facing disciplinary action related to student conduct. These changes directly affect teachers, students, and school administrators by establishing clearer procedures for classroom management and student re-entry.
