School boards; codes of student conduct; student discipline alternatives. Requires the Board of Education to include in its guidelines and model policies for codes of student conduct criteria for the use of non-exclusionary student discipline measures. The bill requires each school board's code of student conduct to be consistent with but permits such code to be more stringent than such guidelines and the Board of Education's guidelines for alternatives to short-term and long-term suspension. The bill also requires each such code of student conduct to include a requirement to utilize as alternatives to suspension, expulsion, and exclusion other interventions such as positive behavior incentives, mediation, peer-to-peer counseling, and community service and to include a requirement to report on the use of student instructional supports and behavioral interventions as categorized by the Department of Education in its student behavior and administrative response data collection.

School boards; codes of student conduct, student discipline alternatives.
