LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1919, as introduced, Weber. Pupil rights: restorative justice practices.

Existing law establishes a system of public elementary and secondary schools in this state. Existing law requires suspension to be imposed on a pupil only when other means of correction fail to bring about proper conduct, and specifies that other means of correction may include, among other things, participation in a restorative justice program. Existing law requires the State Department of Education to develop evidence-based best practices for restorative justice practice implementation on a school campus and to make these best practices available on the department’s internet website on or before June 1, 2024, as specified.

This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation related to restorative justice practices.
