When a student is in violation of the Code of Conduct, due process will be followed. Due process requires the following:
1. The expected conduct must have been adequately publicized or communicated, providing the student with prior knowledge of the conduct, which is required or prohibited. 2. The student must be told why he/she is being considered for disciplinary action. 3. The student must have an opportunity to express his/her views regarding the incident before any decisions regarding discipline is finalized. 4. The school official must base his/her decision only on the matters about which the student has been informed.
In cases where there is a question concerning disciplinary decisions, a parent or legal guardian should first request a meeting with the building principal. If the parent or guardian, after discussing the incident with the administrator, has concerns over a decision, he/she may call the superintendent at 527-9034 for assistance in resolving the problem. The authority to expel and readmit a student rests solely with the Board of Education. |
