	Schoolwide and Classroom Discipline
		School personnel, students, and parents call attention to the high incidence of related problems in school environments--problems such as drug use, cheating, insubordination, truancy, and intimidation--which result in countless school and classroom disruptions and lead to nearly two million suspensions per year (Harvard Education Letter 1987).
		These schools have a higher-than-average incidence of parent involvement in school functions, and communities are kept informed of school goals and activities.
		In schools which are troubled with severe discipline problems and negative climates, a broadbased organizational development approach may be needed to bring about meaningful change; community involvement and support is critical to the success of such efforts.

	DISCIPLINE
		To make local regulations for the conduct of the schools and for the proper discipline of the students, which shall include their conduct going to and returning from school, but such local rules and regulations shall be in harmony with the general rules of the State Board and the statutes of this State.
		Although courts fully realize the responsibility of the school system to establish proper educational settings, one must remember that school board members are elected and thus act in the capacity of representing their constituents or parents of a given political jurisdiction.
		School authorities are reluctant to casually invoke suspension or expulsion.

	ERIC Digest 78 - School Discipline
		School discipline has two main goals: (1) ensure the safety of staff and students, and (2) create an environment conducive to learning.
		Duckworth (1984) found that teachers' satisfaction with school discipline policy was related to their relationship with the principal.
		A school discipline plan must conform to state and federal statutes and to district policy.

	Responsible Thinking Process - A Classroom management program and school discipline program.
		School discipline programs shouldn't involve punishment, whether it is a traditional classroom discipline program or any school behavior management program.
		Thus, this school discipline program is one where students learn to think for themselves and become self-disciplined, which assures their long-term success.
		The key component of this classroom discipline process is its focus on how students can achieve their goals without getting in the way of others who are trying to do the same thing.

	Minority Disproportionality, Safe & Responsive Schools Project, Indiana Education Policy Center
		In an attempt to assess and remediate the problem, the 1997 reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 97) mandated new state reporting requirements concerning minority enrollment in special education and the suspension and expulsion of students with disabilities.
		This report describes an intensive study undertaken across 14 schools within seven Indiana school corporations to improve our understanding of the factors which may contribute to the disproportionate referral and placement of minority students in special education.
		We interviewed 66 educators-teachers, principals, schools psychologists and special education directors-about their perspectives on the challenges faced in urban education, the process of special education, available and needed resources, and the specific topics of disproportionality and diversity.

	Zero Tolerance: School Safety and Discipline Policies
		In well over 20 years of school safety experience with school officials in 45 states, we have consistently found the vast majority of school administrators to strive for firm, fair, and consistent discipline applied with good common sense.
		The average school administrator is not an extremist on either end of the continuum.
		Reasonable security and discipline measures must be a part of these plans so that educators can maintain a secure environment in the here-and-now in order for education and prevention programs to have their longer-term impact in the future.

	Back to School: Zero tolerance makes discipline more severe, involves the courts (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Triggered in part by the Columbine High School shooting in April 1999 that left 15 people dead, local zero-tolerance policies are born from state and federal laws that give school administrators little leeway in punishing students for behavior that is covered, such as bringing weapons to school, using drugs or alcohol, or making threats.
		Morgan, a court case involving a school district in Tennessee, a student who was expelled in 2000 based on a zero-tolerance policy when a friend's knife was found in his car's glove compartment complained that the board expelled him without considering whether he knew the knife had been placed there.
		A recent school safety report released by the Pennsylvania Department of Education shows that during the 2004-05 school year, school violence declined for the second year in a row statewide.

	Behaviour and discipline in school - ParentsCentre (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Discipline is a necessary part of school life and good discipline is based on an agreement between the school and parents about what is expected of your child.
		Schools should be alert to the fact that some difficult behaviour results from special educational needs which are not met, such as emotional and behavioural difficulties.
		The aim of the report was to analyse types of behaviour that schools and other settings find challenging to deal with and to evaluate their responses to it.

	School Discipline. ERIC Digest
		As education researcher Daniel Duke (1989) points out, "the goal of good behavior is necessary, but not sufficient to ensure academic growth." Effective school discipline strategies seek to encourage responsible behavior and to provide all students with a satisfying school experience as well as to discourage misconduct.
		Orderly schools, he noted, usually balance clearly established and communicated rules with a climate of concern for students as individuals, and small alternative schools often maintain order successfully with fewer formal rules and a more flexible approach to infractions than large schools typically have.
		Discipline problems will be reduced if students find school enjoyable and interesting.
