TY - JOUR AU - Yell, Mitchell L. AB - SUMMARY Administrators and teachers have long been challenged by student discipline problems. In the last few years more efforts have been aimed at the prevention of both disruptive and violent behavior through school-wide discipline programs. These programs have great promise as effective ways to address disruptive behavior. In this article we examine laws and policies that support the use of school-wide discipline programs. To do this, first we present a brief overview of the primary components of these policies. Next, we examine laws and court cases that address school-wide discipline policies and procedures. Finally, we discuss the legal implications when developing school-wide discipline policies and procedures.
