The Georgia School for Innovation and the Classics sent a letter to parents requesting to paddle students after their third behavioural infraction.
Students who are not authorised to be paddled will instead face a suspension.
Georgia is among 20 US states that allow corporal punishment ‑ including paddling ‑ in schools.
