(Des Moines) House Study Bill 206, the Teacher Empowerment Bill, passed through the Education Committee of the Iowa House last week.
Iowa House Representative Tom Moore, of Griswold, said the bill says the ombudsman shall investigate complaints received by licensed practitioners related to violence in the classroom.
This bill also lays out a 3-strike system for student discipline. First offense, meet with the school counselor and one day of in-school suspension. Second offense, meet with school counselor and 5 days of in-school suspension. Third offense, expel student from that class and if in high school, not receive credit for that class.
