Modifies provisions governing student attendance data reported for school accreditation processes

Summary

The measure requires districts to adopt a written discipline policy, including rules on corporal punishment, reporting violent crimes, and handling weapons. It sets strict suspension zones, defines weapons, protects staff from civil liability, and says students expelled or suspended for violence will not be counted as dropouts or in attendance calculations for accreditation. The changes aim to improve safety reporting while preventing punitive discipline from hurting a district’s accreditation scores.
