Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Code Section 20-2-736 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to student codes of conduct, distribution, disciplinary action for violations, and parental involvement, so as to require local boards of education to provide parents and teachers opportunities to be involved in developing and updating student codes of conduct; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Georgia law, specifically Code Section 20-2-736 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, which deals with student codes of conduct, their distribution, disciplinary actions for violations, and parental involvement. The key change is that local boards of education will now be required to provide opportunities for both parents and teachers to participate in the process of creating and updating student codes of conduct, moving beyond the previous, broader requirement for "parental involvement." This aims to ensure that those directly affected by school rules have a voice in their development.
