Concerned about inconsistent enforcement, the Duval County  School Board wants to meet with principals and teachers as well as reach out to  students and parents to find out what it can do to improve student  discipline.

"The issue is actually, reality-wise, reducing misbehavior in our  classrooms," board member Tommy Hazouri said. "... We probably have reduced it  [misbehavior], but we haven't reduced it the way that we could."

Lack of discipline and the inconsistent enforcement of rules are routine  complaints heard throughout the district, board members said.

"Suspensions or referrals, that's the biggest issue," Hazzouri said. "The  consistency, sustainability of referrals all over, needs to be the same."

As early as next month, the board wants to hold roundtable discussions with  principals and teachers to get feedback about the problems they've encountered  enforcing discipline.

The board also will seek input from students and parents, board Chairwoman  Betty Burney said during a Monday policy development workshop
