Amends the School Code and the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that as part of the pupil discipline policy (or the uniform system of discipline for pupils in the case of Chicago), each school board shall adopt a policy of zero tolerance that, among other requirements, (1) defines criteria for reporting any act that occurs whenever or wherever students are within the jurisdiction of the school board, (2) defines acts that pose a serious threat to school safety, (3) defines petty acts of misconduct, (4) minimizes the victimization of students or staff, and (5) establishes a procedure that ensures each student has the opportunity to appeal disciplinary actions. Sets forth provisions in relation to entering into agreements with and filing reports with local law enforcement agencies and adopting a cooperative agreement with the Department of Juvenile Justice concerning no contact orders. Provides that any disciplinary or prosecutorial action taken against a student who violates a zero-tolerance policy must be based on the individual student and the particular circumstances of the student's misconduct. Encourages school districts to use alternatives to expulsion or referral to law enforcement agencies unless the use of such alternatives will pose a threat to school safety.
