It also allows school authorities to inspect and search school property and students' personal effects without notice or consent. The bill emphasizes minimizing suspensions and expulsions, using them only when other interventions are exhausted. It prohibits monetary fines as disciplinary actions but allows restitution for damaged property. The bill applies to elementary and secondary schools, charter schools, and special charter districts.
