and distribution of discipline policy; liability limited for discipline actions; local boards

Section 16-6B-11 Paperwork Reduction Committee. (a) The Legislature finds that the excessive
paperwork required of teachers and other public education employees hinders the prime responsibility
of public education: The education of the children of Alabama. The Legislature also finds
that excessive and time-consuming reporting requirements levied on school systems requires
automation in order to for timely reporting to occur. The Legislature further finds that the
excessive paperwork required of teachers has become so burdensome that teachers do not have
adequate time to prepare lesson plans or to devote individual attention to those students
who require special assistance. The Legislature further finds that, for teachers to have time
to teach, it is imperative that all unnecessary paperwork be eliminated from our public schools
and necessary paperwork be automated to the maximum practical extent. (b) The Paperwork Reduction
Committee is created. The membership of the committee shall...
