DEFINITIONS OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION

Conference with the student, which may include a parental conference.  A conference should be viewed as a warning and as an attempt to change the student's behavior.

Detention time may be assigned.  Detention time is to be served before or after school. Detentions will be served with the teacher who assigned this consequence in the teacher’s classroom.  Students have two days from the date of infraction to serve the detention.  Failure to serve the detention will result in an in-school suspension.

Probation is conditional school attendance during a specified trial period.  Probation may be imposed by the principal or associate principal for infractions of school rules, which do not warrant the necessity of removal from school.

In-School-Suspension (ISS) is the removal from regular classes for a period of time.  Students suspended to I.S.S. will be assigned to a closely monitored area.  Classroom work will be provided during the time of suspension.  Students suspended to I.S.S. will not participate in any public performance, assemblies, special class activities, etc, during the identified time of suspension.  Failure to complete the assigned suspension time or follow the I.S.S. rules will result in an out-of-school suspension.

Out-of-School-Suspension (OSS) is the removal of a student from the school environment for a maximum of 10 school days.  Students who are suspended out of school will not be allowed to participate in any organized school activity, public school performances, or be on school property during the time of suspension.

Expulsion is the removal of a student from school by the school board.  Upon the recommendation of the Superintendent or his/her designee, the school board may expel a student for commission of gross or repeated infractions of school rules, or when the continued presence of the student will cause substantial interference with the maintenance of the educational environment or the normal operations of the school.

The privilege of attending Glenwood Community School carries with it the obligation of maintaining acceptable behavior.  Students who are sixteen and over are encouraged to attend school as long as they abide by the rules and regulations of the school.  Each pupil is held responsible for his/her personal actions.
