This bill aims to improve the environment in schools by establishing clear codes of conduct for behavior on school property. It also outlines the disciplinary actions that should be taken when these codes are violated. The bill includes updates to ensure that the regulations are consistent and effective.

Supporters of this bill would argue that it promotes a safer and more respectful school environment for students and staff. By clarifying codes of conduct and disciplinary measures, it helps to ensure that all students understand the expectations and consequences, which can lead to improved behavior and academic performance.
