District delays vote on student discipline policy
The Los Angeles Board of Education on Tuesday postponed a vote on a new discipline policy at the request of the teachers union.
United Teachers Los Angeles President A.J. Duffy told the board that he would like to “go back with my discipline committee and make sure all the Ts are crossed and I’s are dotted.” Duffy stressed, however, that he had no intention of changing the final document.
The board is expected to consider the policy again in two weeks. It would give the Los Angeles Unified School District a guiding document for dealing with student misbehavior.
