This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 15-120.08, which outlines specific procedures for the readmission of students removed from classrooms due to disciplinary issues. Under the new provisions, a principal or designated school administrator must provide a written certification to the teacher before a student can be readmitted. This certification must confirm the authorization for readmission and detail any disciplinary actions taken in response to the student's behavior.
The bill also clarifies the definitions related to "classroom" and "rules governing student conduct." The term "classroom" is defined as any area where scheduled instruction occurs, while "rules governing student conduct" encompasses various guidelines and policies that dictate expected student behavior and the corresponding disciplinary measures. This update aims to enhance accountability and communication between teachers and school administrators regarding student discipline.
