Parents & Students

Level IV: To be administered by the Superintendent of Glenwood Schools or his representative. Expulsions will be administered by the Glenwood Board of Education.

A student who has been suspended out of school may need to meet with the Superintendent, Director of Student Services, building principal, and parent/guardian prior to returning to the Glenwood Middle School to determine if the student should be expelled from school. If a student's action presents a serious and/or continued violation of conduct as listed under reasons for expulsion as identified in Board policy 501.3, the Superintendent of Schools or representative may recommend to the Board of Education that the student be expelled for a minimum period of time. The student and/or parent or legal guardian is entitled to be present for a hearing before the Board as part of an expulsion proceeding.

Any student expelled from school by the Board of Directors may be readmitted only by the Board of Directors. In cases involving expulsion, the Board may establish conditions for readmission. Conditions for readmission will focus on behavioral and academic standards. Violation of these conditions could lead to continuation of the expulsion.

Students may be expelled for the following reasons:

	Transmission, possession or use of any weapon or any instrument intended as a weapon. Board policy 501.8 shall be followed in enforcing this item.

MAKE-UP WORK DURING SUSPENSION

Students placed on in-school suspension or out-of-school suspension, short term or long-term, will be given their regular daily assignments, etc., by their teachers and will receive academic credit if their class work is made up by the time the student reports back to classes. It is the responsibility of the student to see that the completed assignments are turned in to his or her teachers and to make arrangements to take tests/quizzes or finish projects.

Every student will develop the skills to be an independent, cooperative, respectful citizen with a positive attitude.
