EarthPilotEnd School Corporal Punishment

Certificate of Recognition

DeKalb County School District

Georgia

This district's board has prohibited corporal punishment in its schools since May 16, 2012.

However, school personnel may not use corporal punishment as a consequence with students under their care and supervision. Read from the district's own published policy on 2026-10-04

Issued by EarthPilot, an independent project that keeps a public record of which United States school districts permit corporal punishment. This is recognition, not an accreditation, and it is granted on the district's own published policy, which anyone can check: the policy as read. If any of it is wrong, write to us and we will correct the public record.
