in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This part of the law has one purpose. It gives teachers, principals, and school staff tools to keep order. These tools help them keep discipline and a good learning environment.

This section states the purpose of this subpart of the law — it does not create any rule by itself. The goal is to give teachers, principals, and other school professionals the tools they need. These tools are meant to help them take reasonable actions. Those reasonable actions serve three things: maintaining order, maintaining discipline, and keeping an appropriate educational environment in the school. The sections that follow explain what those tools actually are, such as limits on being sued.
