Rules cover general classroom behavior such as disruptions, clothing, and eating; student movements in and around the school building; reporting of unauthorized persons on school property; cafeteria behavior; grooming; and possession of alcohol, drugs, weapons, or other dangerous materials. Also discussed is the development of individual classroom discipline codes and their contents. Procedures that should be included and avoided in such codes are described. It also is recommended that all teachers include discipline education as a regular part of the curriculum. The legal framework for school order and safety is discussed with reference to student civil rights, legal provisions affecting discipline by teachers, and laws related to parents. A school order and safety agreement is provided that specifies the rights and responsibilities of students, teachers, parents, and administrators. Finally, procedures are presented for implementing the manual rules, establishing a school discipline council, maintaining disciplinary records, implementing behavioral consequences, and revalidating and amending the manual.
