What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law prohibits an official, employee, or agent of a school board from subjecting a pupil enrolled in the school district to corporal punishment, defined as the intentional infliction of physical pain as a means of discipline. Certain exceptions are provided; e.g., using reasonable and necessary force to quell a disturbance, obtain possession of a weapon, or prevent a pupil from inflicting harm on himself or herself.
This bill prohibits an official, employee, or agent of a private school that is participating in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) from subjecting a pupil attending the school to corporal punishment. The bill provides the same exceptions that apply in public schools.
