HB 1806 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Prohibits zero-tolerance policies or practices of discipline in public schools

This bill prohibits public schools from enforcing zero-tolerance disciplinary policies that mandate automatic punishments without considering individual circumstances. Under the new rules, schools would be required to evaluate each case individually before imposing consequences like detention, suspension, or expulsion. The legislation aims to give educators the flexibility to modify disciplinary actions based on the specific facts of each situation rather than applying rigid, one-size-fits-all penalties.
