Bill Summary:

Board of Education; school boards; codes of
student conduct; contents. Requires the Board of Education's
guidelines and model policies for codes of student conduct to include
a requirement that any code of student conduct is enforced and any
student behavioral intervention or disciplinary method or measure
is utilized in a fair, proportional, unbiased, and neutral manner,
for the sole purpose of maintaining safe learning environments, and
with full and sole consideration of the student's behavior and with
no consideration of any individual immutable characteristic of the
student such as the student's sex or race. The bill requires each
school board to establish and continuously maintain a system of fair,
proportional, unbiased, and neutral student behavioral intervention
and discipline and prohibits any school board from establishing or
maintaining any system of student behavioral intervention or discipline,
including positive behavioral interventions and supports or any substantially
similar disciplinary method, that targets or differentiates student
behavioral interventions or disciplinary methods or measures based
on any factor other than the student's behavior.
