Before the removed student could return to the same classroom on the same day, both the teacher and a principal or assistant principal would need to agree to allow it. This adds a step to the process meant to help ensure classrooms remain focused on learning. Who it may affect: K-12 teachers, school principals, and students in Kentucky public schools.
