AI Summary
This bill aims to address the "school to prison pipeline" by requiring school districts with high student classroom removal rates to use systems and tools like "Restorative Justice" and "Personalized Learning (Summit Learning)" to keep more students in the classroom. The bill also directs the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to track school districts with high student classroom removal rates to ensure they comply with existing laws that aim to reduce suspension and expulsion rates, particularly for minority and disabled students, who previously had much higher rates of removal from the classroom.
