March 5 2024- Louisiana House Bill HB322, proposed by Representative Joseph Stagni, seeks to address challenges faced by teachers in handling disruptive students. The bill aims to require teachers to take action when students are being disruptive in the classroom, addressing concerns that some teachers may be hesitant to enforce discipline due to fear of repercussions. The bill also includes provisions to prevent school principals or administrators from firing teachers who need to remove students, even if the situation becomes physical. Additionally, teachers would be required to hold parent-teacher conferences if a student is removed from the classroom for the third time. The proposed legislation reflects efforts to balance classroom discipline with teacher protection and parental involvement.
