Section 16-28A-1 Legislative findings. It is the finding of the Alabama Legislature
that the people of Alabama have two basic expectations of their public schools: (1) that students
be allowed to learn in a safe classroom setting where order and discipline are maintained;
and (2) that students learn at the level of their capabilities and achieve accordingly. The
Legislature finds further that every child in Alabama is entitled to have access to a program
of instruction which gives him or her the right to learn in a non-disruptive environment.
No student has a right to be unruly in his or her classroom to the extent that such disruption
denies fellow students of their right to learn. The teacher in each classroom is expected
to maintain order and discipline. Teachers are hereby given the authority and responsibility
to use appropriate means of discipline up to and including corporal punishment as may be prescribed
by the local board of education. So long as teachers follow approved...
