1003.01  Definitions.--As used in this chapter, the term:
(7)  "Corporal punishment" means the moderate use of physical force or physical contact by a teacher or principal as may be necessary to maintain discipline or to enforce school rule.  However, the term "corporal punishment" does not include the use of such reasonable force by a teacher or principal as may be necessary for self-protection or to protect other students from disruptive students.    [   http://www.flsenate.gov/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=Ch1003/ch1003.htm ]
