Queensland's education department says it's determined to reduce the number of at-risk students being suspended, but the teachers' union is arguing schools are best placed to make decisions about poor behaviour.
But the Queensland education department said there was not a department-wide review into student behaviour.
However, the education department said that it has begun consultation about how "school-level behaviour reviews in some schools may be implemented in the future".Queensland Teachers' Union vice president Leah Olsson said school leaders were reporting that student disciplinary absences have been reviewed by the education department for the past six to twelve months.
"They need to ensure that a school leaders' judgement is actually not overturned or reviewed, and they are trusting their professional discretion for ensuring a healthy and safe workplace.""Schools, no matter what, should not be expected to accept any violent behaviour or any behaviour which jeopardises the health and safety of students and our members," she said.
