The proposed Teachers' Bill of Rights aims to strengthen the authority of teachers in Alabama by allowing them to exclude students from their classrooms for specific disruptive behaviors, such as disorderly conduct or threats against staff or peers. Once a student is excluded, they will be placed under the control of the school principal, who must follow established procedures for the student's return. If a student is excluded three times within a month, the principal has the authority to suspend the student or recommend alternative schooling. The bill also requires local boards of education to create an appeal process for teachers regarding exclusion decisions and mandates data collection on disciplinary actions.

Additionally, the bill provides legal protections for education employees, granting them immunity from civil and criminal liability when addressing student behavior, as long as their actions comply with state and local policies, with exceptions for excessive force or constitutional rights violations. It establishes a rebuttable presumption that teachers are acting within their rights when following an approved classroom management plan, which must be reviewed and approved by principals by the tenth day of student instruction each academic year. The State Board of Education is tasked with adopting a model policy by the 2024-2025 school year, ensuring compliance with federal laws regarding students' rights. The provisions of this act will take effect on June 1, 2024.
