A model policy, under consideration by the Alabama Board of Education, includes five behaviors that allow teachers to exclude students from classrooms.
But it isn’t clear when exactly the “Teacher Bill of Rights,” createdTeachers told lawmakers they have little input into disciplining students who disrupt the classroom. And when they sent a child out of the classroom, principals just send the student back to the classroom without punishment.
But time is of the essence, with some schools opening Aug. 1, and many schools waiting to see language recommended by the state. The state Board of Education is expected to vote on a model policy Aug. 8. The Teacher Bill of Rights requires the principal to certify, in writing, that the student is ready to be readmitted to class before sending the student back to the teacher’s classroom.
