Join Attorney Brandon K. Wright of Franczek P.C. to understand the legal framework governing discipline in preschool through primary grades, including changes to Illinois law that further restrict exclusionary discipline and emphasize behavioral supports over removal from school. Learn the board's role in policy, oversight, and balancing student safety with legal compliance, and explore strategies for supporting administrators navigating increasingly complex discipline decisions.
