Modifies provisions relating to corporal punishment in schools

HB 2827 bans corporal punishment in all public school districts by requiring written discipline policies that prohibit physical punishment and spanking. It mandates annual staff training on these policies, requires schools to report serious violent or drug-related offenses (including specific crimes like assault, kidnapping, or drug distribution) to law enforcement, and adds a new rule: students suspended for such offenses must stay at least 1,000 feet from school property during their suspension unless under specific adult supervision or enrolled in an alternative school nearby. The bill directly affects all public school students, staff, and districts in the state, replacing previous policies that allowed limited corporal punishment with a total prohibition.
