Iowa SF2044 amends school district and charter school policies to address student discipline for violent and nonviolent disruptions.
Iowa SF2044 mandates that school districts and charter schools adopt policies for disciplining students who cause violent or nonviolent disruptions in the classroom. The bill defines "violent disruption" as a threat of violence or an incident resulting in injury, property damage, or assault. "Nonviolent disruption" includes disorderly conduct, abusive language, bullying, and repeated disruptive behavior. The policies must authorize teachers to remove students causing disruptions and place them under the supervision of the principal for at least 30 minutes.
