Under the new law, schools will have to provide advance notice of a disciplinary hearing, with information detailing their behavior and how it violated the code of conduct. Students will be allowed to have a lawyer at their hearings.

Students will also be able to review any recordings or documentation of the incident, and question witnesses at the hearing as long as they are older than 14.

The law will require that the school provide a detailed statement with the disciplinary decision, including the relevant code that was violated and what will be included in the student’s record.

The bill, HB188, passed the senate with 32 votes in favor and none against. There were two senators, William Beasley and Merika Coleman, who passed. It passed the House on April 4 by a vote of 96-5 with two abstentions.





Where is the problem?

That is not a good course of action. It is not a courtroom, it’s a classroom. The burden of proof should be less, as it is now. You are getting thugs out of schools, not sentencing them to prison.
