Board discusses redrafting discipline matrix to speed responses and reduce classroom loss
Summary
Trustees and staff said the district needs a faster discipline process that removes disruptive students with less teacher time lost; they plan summer work to revise the student discipline matrix and budget for after‑school detention stipends if needed.
Board members said a faster discipline process could reduce instructional time lost when teachers remove disruptive students and described plans to redraft the district discipline matrix over the summer.
One trustee described the need for a quicker path: "one of the big things that came about from supporting teachers was our discipline matrix and how we come up with a better way so kids can be out of the classroom faster without the teachers having to jump through... hoops." Trustees discussed options including after‑school detention staffed by a paid stipend and the need to budget for that support if the board adopts such a change.
Trustees and staff said they will continue work on the redraft through the summer and return with a revised matrix and related budget implications for the May budget review.
