The proposed bill, known as the Positive Learning Environment Act, aims to enhance the educational environment within Kansas school districts by establishing specific rights for teachers and mandating the creation of school management plans. Each school district's board of education is required to adopt a management plan that outlines expected student behaviors and a tiered system of consequences and interventions for both minor and major behavioral infractions. The bill defines key terms such as "administrator," "major behavioral infraction," "minor behavioral infraction," "parent," "principal," "student," and "teacher," ensuring clarity in the roles and responsibilities of each party involved in the educational process.

Additionally, the bill grants teachers various rights, including the ability to discipline students according to district policies, remove disruptive students from their classrooms, and receive support from school administrators. It prohibits school boards and administrators from establishing policies that hinder teachers' rights or retaliating against them for exercising these rights. The bill also mandates that school management plans be communicated to parents and students, included in handbooks, and reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and relevant. Overall, the Positive Learning Environment Act seeks to foster a safe and structured learning atmosphere that supports both teachers and students.
