Sec. 34-84a.
Maintenance of discipline.
Subject to the
limitations of all policies established or adopted under Section
14-8.05, teachers, other certificated educational employees, and
any other person, whether or not a certificated employee, providing a related
service for or with respect to a student shall maintain discipline in
the schools, including school grounds which are owned or leased by the
board and used for school purposes and activities.
In all matters
relating to the discipline in and conduct of the schools and the school
children, they stand in the relation of parents and guardians to the
pupils. This relationship shall extend to all activities connected
with the school program, including all athletic and extracurricular
programs, and may be exercised at any time for the
safety and supervision of the pupils in the absence of their parents
or guardians.
Nothing in this Section affects the power of the board

the board must provide, subject to the limitations of all policies
established or adopted under Section 14-8.05,
that a teacher, other certificated employee, and any other person, whether or
not a certificated employee, providing a related service for or with respect to
a student may
use reasonable force as needed to maintain safety for the other students,
shall provide that a teacher may remove a student from the classroom
for disruptive behavior, and
must include provisions which provide due process to students.
