Schools Moving from Zero Tolerance Discipline Policies

After a series of harsh disciplinary incidents that angered many parents, schools in Maryland have launched a statewide review of zero tolerance policies. The state board of education is expected to propose regulations that would keep students, even those with behavior problems, in school as much as possible. The regulations would do away with more than a third of all suspensions, according to the state’s data. Source: The Baltimore Sun
