Establishes task force to examine school discipline practices including racial disparities and effectiveness.

This bill establishes an 11-member task force to examine school discipline practices in New Jersey public schools, focusing specifically on racial disparities in how policies are applied and the effectiveness of current approaches. The task force will study in-school suspensions, expulsions, physical restraint, and other discipline methods, while reviewing federal guidance like the 2014 "Dear Colleague" letter on equitable discipline. Composed of education officials, school association representatives, and public experts, the group must issue a final report with recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within 12 months. The bill itself does not change existing policies but creates a formal process to evaluate and improve school discipline equity.
