At Thursday's monthly board meeting, the issue was on the agenda to make changes to the Student Code of Conduct. The meeting was held at Jones College Prep in a one-off change after a pipe burst at CPS headquarters downtown.CPS CEO Pedro Martinez recommended changes that would impact their youngest students, from pre-kindergarten to second grade.
The new policy removes the labeling of behavior as "misconduct," which Martinez said, "Provides a more equitable and developmental lens to their unique behavioral needs." "The response should minimize the impact of the incident, repair harm, and address the underlying needs behind the student behaviors," Martinez said.
The updated policy aims to better track disruptive behavior and get support to school and the students who need it.Copyright © 2024 WLS-TV. All Rights Reserved.
