(3) Minimize disruptions to education with an emphasis on positive behavioral supports and behavioral intervention plans;
(4) Create consistent rules and consequences; and
(5) Model respectful, nonviolent relationships.
(b) The department of education shall develop guidance on trauma-informed discipline practices that LEAs must use to develop the policy required under subsection (a).
