AI Summary
This bill prohibits corporal punishment of students in Arizona schools. It amends existing laws to define corporal punishment and clarify that the use of restraint or seclusion techniques is allowed only when a student's behavior presents an imminent danger of bodily harm and less restrictive interventions are insufficient. The bill also outlines reporting and documentation procedures for the use of restraint or seclusion techniques and prohibits the suspension or expulsion of young students in certain circumstances, unless there are aggravating factors or the student's behavior immediately endangers others.
