Corporal punishment; require school districts that allow to adopt a policy allowing parents to opt in.

Summary

The bill would force any Mississippi public school district that still uses corporal punishment to adopt a written policy that allows parents or legal guardians to choose whether their child is included in the district’s spanking program. Parents must submit a written request for inclusion and can withdraw that request in writing at any time. The measure is intended to give families direct control over the use of physical discipline in schools.
