Students subject to discipline for a third offense of defiance or disrespect are required to participate in supportive interventions, such as behavior skills development, restorative justice programming, or external social services support.

There is an explicitly stated goal of eliminating school discipline disparities based on race and socio-economic status and the contract requires schools to create a “Positive, Safe and Orderly Climate” plan. It calls on the district to leverage “inclusive and comprehensive approaches to student discipline that focus on and address why a child may be exhibiting negative behaviors.

Schools must develop a prevention, intervention, and discipline plan that is aligned to the district’s commitment to restorative practices.

The district is required to provide teachers with training on restorative justice practices, working with students impacted by trauma, and building a positive classroom environment. Additionally, the contract establishes a joint district-union “School Safety and Discipline Committee” tasked with meeting monthly to review and provide recommendations for revision of the Code of Conduct and to develop implementation best practices.
