Protecting our Students in Schools Act of 2025

This bill would ban physical punishment of students in schools that receive federal money. If a school allows staff, security guards, or law enforcement to physically punish students, the Department of Education could withhold funding or order the school to stop. Students who are physically punished would also have the right to take legal action. The bill would require states to report information about their discipline practices, provide grants to help schools use positive approaches to managing student behavior, and make sure schools run or funded by the Department of Defense and the Department of the Interior follow the same rules.
