School Discipline Policies (2016)

Subject
Education & School Finance (Pre & K-12)
Published

This memorandum responds to your request for information on school discipline policies.  Specifically, you were contacted by a constituent expressing concern about several incidents at her granddaughter’s elementary school in School District 27J.  Please note that because Legislative Council Staff is unable to analyze whether there is a conflict between state law and the district's policies related to the circumstances the constituent describes, the memorandum provides background information on school discipline laws and regulations.
