21.12.3 Student Discipline (Unit 3)

1. Upon request of the Union, the State agrees to consult with the Union representatives on the development of a written student discipline program.
2. Teachers may recommend either temporary or permanent removal of a student when in the teacher’s professional judgment the teacher believes a student’s behavior is interfering with the learning of others or when a teacher/instructor or other students are being threatened; however, the State employer retains the authority to remove or suspend a student from the classroom.
