Bill overview
This bill aims to limit the use of ‘exclusionary discipline’ – such as suspensions and expulsions – for students who violate school rules concerning grooming and dress. Currently, these rules are often enforced in a way that disproportionately affects students of color and those with diverse gender expressions. The bill seeks to reduce the reliance on these disciplinary actions, promoting a more equitable and inclusive school environment. It encourages schools to explore alternative approaches to addressing these rule violations.
