Hawaii BOE To Consider Scaled-Back Student Discipline Policy Tuesday.

The Honolulu Civil Beat (8/31, Terrell) reports the Hawaii Board of Education is considering a “scaled-back student discipline policy on Tuesday” that would “make suspensions an action of last resort.” The policy was first presented to the board in May, but delayed to June and again in August following “complaints from school principals who felt the BOE did not garner enough input from them.” The new version would also remove the section “addressing the presence of law enforcement officers of campuses.”
