This bill aims to modify the rules governing school disciplinary proceedings in Michigan. It proposes changes to existing laws regarding how schools handle discipline, including the addition of new provisions.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will create a fairer and more consistent approach to school discipline, ensuring that students are treated equitably. They believe these changes will help reduce disparities in disciplinary actions and promote a more positive school environment.
