The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by introducing new requirements for the readmission of students to classrooms after they have been removed for disciplinary reasons. Specifically, it stipulates that a principal or designated school administrator can only direct a student to return to the classroom if they provide the teacher with a written certification that states the authorization for readmission and describes any disciplinary actions taken in response to the student's behavior. This addition aims to enhance accountability and communication between teachers and school administration regarding student discipline.

Additionally, the bill defines key terms such as "classroom" and "rules governing student conduct." The definition of "classroom" is clarified to include any area where scheduled instruction occurs, while "rules governing student conduct" encompasses a range of policies and guidelines that outline expected student behavior and the corresponding disciplinary measures. These definitions aim to provide clarity and consistency in the application of student discipline policies across public schools.
